Drew Goddard Confirms He’s Writing Matrix 5 as Warner Bros. Development Continues

The studio is taking a measured approach with new leadership.

Overview

  • Goddard told Screen Rant the sequel is “still in the works” and that he is currently in his “writing cave” on the script.
  • Warner Bros. greenlit a fifth film in April 2024 with Goddard set to write and direct, marking the first live-action entry not directed by the Wachowskis.
  • No plot details, casting announcements, or production timeline have been made public.
  • Reporting indicates Lana Wachowski is expected to serve as an executive producer and Sarah Esberg as a producer, though the studio has not issued formal confirmations.
  • Coverage notes 2021’s The Matrix Resurrections underperformed financially, and multiple outlets echoed Goddard’s update while emphasizing the project’s early stage.
