Will Smith has shared a cryptic video on Instagram referencing his past rejection of the role of Neo in the original Matrix film. The video prompts viewers to consider what the Matrix would have been like with Smith as Neo, ultimately revealing that 'The Matrix has him.' This follows the confirmation that The Matrix 5 is in development with Drew Goddard directing.
Will Smith teases his potential involvement in a new The Matrix movie. Smith was offered the role of Neo for the original The Matrix movie in 1997 but turned it down to star in Wild Wild West, which became critically panned and performed poorly at the box office. The Matrix franchise returned with The Matrix Resurrections in 2021, and Warner Bros.
What This Means For The Matrix The Matrix 5 May Feature Will Smith As Neo Close Smith's video could be the first indicator of The Matrix 5's story and cast could look like. It may be the franchise's first installment without Keanu Reeves as Neo and may feature the iconic character being played by Smith instead.
Posts 2 In the cases of Smith and Morpheus, The Matrix Resurrections found narrative in-universe reasons to explain why these prominent characters were recast and why they looked different. If Smith is playing Neo in The Matrix 5, the sequel will need to have an in-universe explanation for the character's different appearance and demeanor. Smith playing Neo is also possible as a reboot of the franchise, meaning someone other than Carrie-Anne Moss may play Trinity as well.
