10 Recent Movie Scenes Everyone Misunderstood
10. The Ending Doesn't Set Up A Sequel - The Matrix Resurrections
The Matrix Resurrections concludes with Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) discovering her own One-like abilities and paying a visit to the villainous Analyst (Neil Patrick Harris) along with Neo (Keanu Reeves).
They inform him the Analyst that, as the Matrix's ultimate power couple, they're going to rebuild it in their own image, and promptly fly off into the sky together. The End.
Many viewers quite understandably assumed that the ending was sequel bait intended to launch a new trilogy of Matrix films, even if that couldn't be further from the truth.
While doing press for the film, Lana Wachowski was adamant that this will be her final Matrix film, and the movie itself not-so-subtly implies that she only came back to make it because Warner Bros. was going to reboot it without her otherwise.
This was Lana's last big blockbuster swing by the looks of it and certainly where the Matrix is concerned, and given that Carrie-Anne Moss and Keanu Reeves have made their loyalty to the Wachowskis clear, it's extremely difficult to believe they'd return without the sisters being involved.
Though it's at least easy to understand why some felt Resurrections' ending was teeing up more movies with Trinity and Neo, the best you can hope for is a reboot sometime in the future. At least it's already got the perfect title - The Matrix Rebooted.
