Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT News that The Matrix 5 is in development raises several issues around the franchise's future story, but whatever direction the movie takes, it's almost impossible for the film to replace Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss. Ever since the original Matrix, Reeves and Moss have played a pivotal role.
The Matrix Resurrections' Character Replacements Didn't Work Close One of the most controversial aspects of The Matrix Resurrections was the decision to replace iconic franchise characters with new actors. Although recurring figures like Morpheus and Agent Smith made a return alongside Neo and Trinity, original cast members Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving did not feature.
Removing Neo And Trinity From The Matrix 5 Would Make Resurrections' Problems Worse The character replacements in The Matrix Resurrections weren't the only problem with the movie. The film's meta-story elements and critical self-commentary proved divisive with both audiences and critics – exemplified by Resurrections' mixed scores on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
Following The Matrix Resurrections' ending, Neo and Trinity are at the heart of all these questions. Whatever the audience's reaction to the film's bold new storyline, there's no denying that this conclusion sets up multiple intriguing mysteries for The Matrix 5 to answer. However, it's difficult to see how any of these questions will be addressed if Neo and Trinity are not involved in the story.
