Drew Goddard Shares Update on The Matrix 5

Drew Goddard is currently promoting his upcoming sci‑fi film Project Hail Mary, which he wrote and directed from Andy Weir's book and stars Ryan Gosling. Goddard received an Academy Award nomination for his 2015 screenplay for The Martian. He is also writing and set to direct The Matrix 5, announced in 2024 as the first installment without at least one of the Wachowskis at the helm.

Goddard has drawn praise as a director for The Cabin in the Woods and Bad Times at the El Royale, and says he "takes this responsibility very seriously," adding that he loves what Lana and Lilly Wachowski did with those movies. When asked about Keanu Reeves' potential involvement, Goddard said, "I can't speak to that." He described The Matrix Resurrections as emotionally resonant: "When I watched the movie, I was deeply moved.

It may be the most emotional of the four. I know it got caught up in the COVID times and it was when Warner Bros. was putting everything on streaming." Goddard approached Warner Bros.
