The Matrix Resurrections: 10 Biggest Questions It Leaves Unanswered

Resurrections ends in a fashion almost exactly like the original Matrix, leaving the door open for more stories but also serving as a fine departure point if this really is the end.

Is a Matrix 5 ever going to happen? It's tough to say.

Now, Lana Wachowski herself emphatically stated during Resurrections' press tour that this film is a one-and-done for her, telling reporters and clarifying to her own producers that she's not coming back for more. She said:

"I didn't ever want to make another Matrix movie, I told everyone for 18 years, I didn't want to make another Matrix movie. Lily told everyone that she didn't want to make another Matrix movie and then I had a tragedy in my life. My parents passed away, and I needed something to help me with the grief and inventing a story where two people come back to life was healing and comforting, and I was non-judgmental. I just wrote it, and then I didn't know what I was going to do with it. But then I read part of the story to that woman right there. And she said, Oh my God, you have to tell this story."

While it certainly seems like Lana's going to stick to her guns, that doesn't mean the franchise is over.

It's difficult to imagine Keanu Reeves or Carrie-Anne Moss returning without Wachowski's involvement, but it's also hard to picture Warner Bros. never returning to this IP again, whether for a reboot movie years from now - as they almost did with Michael. B Jordan a few years ago - or an HBO Max series in the vein of the Star Wars and Marvel Disney+ shows.

It remains to be seen, honestly. This feels like the end of the Neo/Trinity saga, but The Matrix as a brand will probably continue to live on in some form.
