The Matrix Reboot: 5 Reasons It Should Be A Prequel

3. Agent Smith Could Return

The two obvious options for a prequel are a movie focusing on Morpheus' younger years or a film surrounding one of Neo's predecessors in a previous version of the Matrix.

Whichever of these options are taken, there is one character that could make a return appearance, that being Agent Smith. Seeing as Smith is a program he doesn't age and therefore would be able to appear in much the same capacity as he did in the original Matrix, acting as the menacing villain chasing after whoever the protagonist ends up being.

And, out of all the characters from the first three movies, Smith was easily one of, if not the, most entertaining and interesting due to both how well he was written as well as Hugo Weaving's excellent performance meaning that if anyone should return it should be him.
