The Matrix 5 is waiting on a blessing.

Posted Sep 7, 2026 at 6:50 PM UTC The Matrix 5 is waiting on a blessing. The Matrix was said to be coming back for a fifth time back in 2024, with director Drew Goddard at the helm.

Here's the rest of what she said about moving forward for Matrix 5 : He doesn't wanna go forward unless he gets our blessing, and so, it becomes this complicated situation that maybe we're gonna stick our noses in a tiny bit and see how we feel and if we wanna pass on our blessing to Drew or not.
