Why The Matrix 5 might not be happening anytime soon
The Matrix 5 probably isn’t coming out because the series has not given the green light for the next chapter in The Matrix saga. ComingSoon will provide an update if and when the movie is officially greenlit.
The official synopsis for The Matrix reads:
“Set in the 22nd century, The Matrix tells the story of a computer hacker who joins a group of underground insurgents fighting the vast and powerful computers who now rule the earth.”
