In a recent Instagram post, Will Smith hinted at the possibility of a remake of The Matrix. His post suggests that he might take on the role of Neo, originally played by Keanu Reeves, or perhaps another leading role similar to Neo, who is often referred to as “the chosen one.

In a recent video, Smith posted, the text appeared horizontally, reminiscent of the iconic green text from the opening scene of Keanu’s first appearance in “The Matrix,” where the text was green. However, in this case, it was orange instead.
The video displayed the following text:
1997 saw the Wachowskis present Will Smith with the opportunity to play Neo in “The Matrix”. However, he declined and instead opted for “Wild Wild West”, considering it more suitable at that moment. One can’t help but wonder how “The Matrix” might have unfolded with Will Smith as Neo. Oh, Will… It seems “The Matrix” was calling you too!
This has fans of the original movie very concerned for two major reasons.
Initially, during the Academy Awards in 2022, Hollywood star Will Smith tarnished his previously admired image by rushing onto the stage and striking comedian Chris Rock following a lighthearted remark about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, which ultimately proved to be his downfall.
The event became known as “the slap heard around the world.”

After that ban, Smith’s attendance at Academy events has ceased, and his roles in movies have decreased, resulting in lower box office earnings.
Additionally, the fourth installment of The Matrix, titled “The Matrix Resurrections,” was met with both critical and financial disappointment. So poor was this film that numerous critics speculated that Lana Wachowski, one of its creators, intentionally produced a subpar movie as revenge against Warner Bros., who were accused yet again of producing another heartless money-making venture.
Currently, there’s been no announcement about a Matrix 5. However, remember we’re talking about Hollywood – a place where the movie industry machine seems reluctant, if not unable, to let a beloved franchise like this one fade away.
Given the past debates and setbacks, what’s the reason behind producing a fifth Matrix film now? Additionally, why has Will Smith been chosen for this new installment?
It’s plausible that Hollywood might employ him as a means to advance another diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiative, with the idea being “The Matrix,” but this time starring a black lead character.” Maybe Smith is trying to reignite his career by generating intrigue through cryptic hints and sparking interest. Or perhaps he, similar to many in Hollywood currently, is yearning for success and utilizing a well-known franchise to achieve it.
Regardless of the cause, we at That Park Place will maintain our cautious stance and keep you updated on any new information that comes up.
