The Matrix Resurrections Ending, Explained
Two decades in the making, Neo and Trinity returned in The Matrix Resurrections with an ending that might require a little explaining.
There are four movies in the Matrix franchise. After The Matrix was released in 1999, both The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions came out in 2003. There was a long wait before The Matrix Resurrections was released in 2023. According to Box Office Mojo, the 2021 sequel grossed $37,686,805 domestically and
$157,386,805 worldwide. While some reviews weren't overwhelmingly positive, there's no doubt that audiences weren't thrilled to get the chance to watch these characters and enter this memorable world again.
In 2024, when The Matrix had its 25th anniversary, Reeves spoke to Variety about starring in such a popular franchise. He said hearing how much fans love the movie is "the best" and got emotional when talking about the subject. He explained:
“The Matrix changed my life, and then over these years, it’s changed so many other people’s lives in really positive and great ways. As an artist, you hope for that when you get to do a film or tell a story.”
The Matrix is so beloved that movie fans continue to discuss the gripping premise and fascinating characters, like this fan theory that connects Inception and the Reeves movie.
Thankfully, audiences don't have to say goodbye to it, either. Even though it's been a few years since the most recent sequel, there's going to be another one. In April 2024, Variety reported that The Matrix 5 was being developed. Although Lily and Lana Wachowski wrote and directed the past four movies, Drew Goddard is writing and directing. Since Goddard is known for co-writing and directing the brilliant horror movie The Cabin in the Woods, it will be cool to see how he takes on this famous franchise. There is no release date at this time.
