At this stage in the development, the Wachowskis, who directed the previous Matrix trilogy, aren’t involved with this new version.
THR dropped the news that Warner Bros is in the early stages of “developing a relaunch” of 1999’s The Matrix, which spawned two sequels, Reloaded and Revolutions, that both came out in 2003.
Along with sources telling the outlet that there is “potential interest” in Michael B. Jordan leading the reboot, The Incredible Hulk writer Zak Penn is in talks to write a treatment.
It was also mentioned that original trilogy producer Joel Silver is said to have approached Warner Bros with the idea of a new Matrix movie, but Silver sold his his interest in all his movies back in 2012, and now Warner Bros is reportedly “leery” of including him in the production.
