As reported in Variety, a third sequel to the original 1999 film is in the works at Warner Bros Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures.

Excitingly, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are set to reprise their roles as Neo and Trinity in the new blockbuster.

The franchise is in safe hands too, as one of the co-creators of the original trilogy, Lana Wachowski, who famously worked on the first three films with her sister Lilly, has signed up to write, direct and produce the film.

“We could not be more excited to be re-entering The Matrix with Lana,” said Warner Bros Picture Group chairman Toby Emmerich.

“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”.

The Matrix is officially reloading, and Keanu Reeves is back on board
