Drew Goddard (The Martian, The Cabin in the Woods and World War Z) is set to write and direct a new Matrix film from Warner Bros., according to THR.

Plot details are being kept under wraps; however, Goddard will be approaching the franchise with a new take.

“Drew came to Warner Bros. with a new idea that we all believe would be an incredible way to continue the Matrix world, by both honoring what Lana and Lilly began over 25-years ago and offering a unique perspective based on his own love of the series and characters,” said Warner Bros. Motion Pictures president of production Jesse Ehrman in a statement. “The entire team at Warner Bros. Discovery is thrilled for Drew to be making his new Matrix film, adding his vision to the cinematic canon the Wachowskis’ spent a quarter of a century building here at the studio.”

The Matrix released 25 years ago, and sparked several sequels, with the most recent release in 2021, The Matrix Resurrections. This upcoming film with Goddard will not directly involve Matrix creators Lana or Lily Wachowski, however, Lana Wachowski will serve as executive producer.
