Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jonathan Groff, Jessica Henwick, Toby Onwumere and Neil Patrick Harris will also star in the new film with plot details still under wraps.

All we know is that Lana Wachowski is directing for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow.

“We could not be more excited to be re-entering the Matrix with Lana,” said Warner Bros.’ Toby Emmerich when announced. “Lana is a true visionary — a singular and original creative filmmaker — and we are thrilled that she is writing, directing and producing this new chapter in ‘The Matrix’ universe.”

“Many of the ideas Lilly and I explored 20 years ago about our reality are even more relevant now. I’m very happy to have these characters back in my life and grateful for another chance to work with my brilliant friends,” Wachowski added.

Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell are co-writing the script with Wachowski.
