10 Actors Who Should Appear In The New Matrix Movie

2. Jay Baruchel - The Comic Relief

The Role: The new Matrix movie absolutely needs a wiry comic relief character, someone to basically fill the hole left by Mouse's demise in the first film. Jay Baruchel is an excellent choice because he's not famous enough to be super-intrusive (like casting one of his pals would be), but he's also a talented actor with an appealing nervous energy.

How Likely Is It?: Honestly, it's hard to say. He's not exactly got a full slate right now, but it's entirely possible a new Matrix movie would skirt away from some of the original's goofier human characters.

Plus, as with Mouse, Warner Bros. could defer to a virtual unknown to play such a potentially small part. Fingers crossed, but no guarantees. 4/10
