Will Smith Teases Matrix-Themed Music Project, Not Involved in Matrix 5

The actor's cryptic Instagram post referencing The Matrix has been confirmed to promote a new music project, not a role in the upcoming Matrix sequel.

Will Smith shared a cryptic Instagram video referencing his decision to turn down the role of Neo in 1999's The Matrix in favor of Wild Wild West.
The post led to widespread speculation about his involvement in The Matrix 5, which is currently in development under director Drew Goddard.
Multiple sources, including Warner Bros. and industry insiders, confirmed that Smith is not part of the upcoming Matrix sequel.
Instead, the post is reportedly tied to a new music project, marking Smith's first album in 20 years since 2005's 'Lost and Found.'
The Matrix 5, with Lana Wachowski as executive producer, is still in early stages, with no confirmed cast yet.
