The Matrix co-director Lilly Wachowski has finally confirmed fan speculation that the films are metaphors for transgender identity.
Lilly Wachowski has now confirmed that she and her sister’s “original intention” was for the film to operate as an allegory for gender identity.
Filming on the belated fourth entry in the Matrix franchise recently restarted, with the coronavirus pandemic having shutting down production in March.
“The Matrix … was all about the desire for transformation, but it was all coming from a closeted point of view,” Wachowski said.
