The Matrix Revolutions served as a pretty definitive ending to the original trilogy, and although Resurrections resets the clock (how successfully is open for debate) and leaves room for the story to continue, it doesn't sound like any plans are currently in place for a fifth movie.
Director Lana Wachowski has already made it clear that she has no interest in helming a new trilogy, and star Keanu Reeves has now weighed in on the prospect of reprising the role of Thomas Anderson/Neo again.
"I don’t believe so," the John Wick star tells Empire Magazine when asked if The Matrix 5 is going to happen. "If I had to cast a ballot- No, not a ballot, a vote. I would say that Lana would not do another Matrix."
However, in the unlikely event that the filmmaker could be persuaded, Reeves makes it clear that "he's in."
Honestly, even if Wachowski and the entire cast did want to make a follow-up, Resurrections' lacklustre performance at the box office has probably ensured that the door is firmly closed on the possibility of this franchise going any further.
