15 Most Anticipated Sci-Fi Movies Coming In 2021
12. The Matrix 4
It would be unfair to say that anyone was particularly desperate for another Matrix movie after the last two instalments, but Lana Wachowski's return to the franchise (which will be released on December 22nd, 2021) is generating an awful lot of excitement.
While familiar faces like Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Jada Pinkett Smith are set to reprise their respective roles (there's no sign of Laurence Fishburne or Hugo Weaving, unfortunately), it's the addition of new leads Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Jessica Henwick which is most compelling about this one.
Unsurprisingly, plot details are non-existent at this stage, but this isn't a reboot and it instead promises to continue the story told in that original trilogy. Whether that's a good or bad thing remains to be seen, but learning what Neo's up to all these years later should make it a fun ride if nothing else.
