Has The Matrix 4 been confirmed, are the Wachowskis directing it and will it star Keanu Reeves as Neo? Short answer: Yes!

In March, 2019, the John Wick 3 director and former Matrix stuntman, Chad Stahelski, apparently let it slip that the Wachowskis were working on The Matrix 4. When asked if the Wachowskis were writing and directing the new Matrix movie, he told NME, “Yeah. And if they wanted help, I would absolutely put down whatever I was doing to help them.”

This came as a shocking surprise to many because it was rumoured that the Wachowskis were not interested in doing a fourth movie. And the same went for Keanu; he told the media that he would only be involved if the Wachowskis had full creative control.

However, shortly after, a correction was made regarding Stahelski’s statement. According to Stahelski, he was referring to the work he did for the Wachowskis in the first Matrix trilogy and he was not confirming Wachowskis involment in the fourth movie.

His comments were in response to a hypothetical scenario were the Wachowskis would be involved and he did not confirm them being attached to the new film.

Was Stahelski just correcting his Freudian slip, or did he feel pressure from studio executives to retract his comments? We believe, with 100% certainty, that he was retracting his statement because it was not his place to confirm or leak any of these details. And here is why…

All signs point to Keanu Reeves return

It’s pretty obvious what is going on at this point, right? Warner Brothers wanted Keanu since he is pretty much the hottest celebrity in Hollywood at the moment, the only way they could get him involved is by getting the Wachowskis on board, and voilà!
