"The Matrix" gets another sequel, Original cast returns

I'm in, too! I actually never watched but a few scenes of the sequels but I don't understand all the grief they received. The first Matrix is still relevant and maybe slightly dated but awesome.

It is kind of crazy that Keanu Reeves is probably more known for John Wick now than this!

I’m fine with a sequel. I just pray it doesn’t lead to a Matrix Cinematic Universe.

I honestly do not know where they are going to go with this sequel. Although I did not love Reload and Revolutions, the story ended and concluded. I think it would be better to make spin-off like Animatrix. With Reeves and Moss returning, the only explanation I can think of is that the machines have ended the peace and Neo returns from the dead somehow to stop them.

Wasn't it slightly open-ended when he died?

Yep. The epilogue is kind of where it gets open ended, but the death scenes are not. The Architect says peace won't last and Oracle agrees. Oracle tells Sati it's likely they'll see Neo again. We had no idea what that meant at the time, but now we'll likely find out. It's not improbable that the new version of the Matrix would have a Neo and Trinity program. The Oracle returns, and so Neo and Trinity could conceivably die and be resurrected as many times as necessary inside the Matrix. The catch being that they wouldn't still be alive in the real/machine world because we saw them die.

The idea that a fourth film exists kind of makes the ending to Revolutions better imo. It really kind of shows that war is eternal in that universe. Now, that being said, that feeling could easily change based on how the film turns out. It's often tough to revisit films over long stretches of time. For every Blade Runner 2049, Tron Legacy, and Mad Max, I can name you a Dumb and Dumber To, Ghostbusters 2016, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Fingers crossed on this one.

Matrix 4 and John Wick 4, coinscidence? I think not
