Summary

  • Next Matrix movie may be helmed by Drew Goddard, possible reboot.
  • Rumor hints Ariana Grande may star in Matrix 5, role details unknown.
  • Grande expresses interest in acting, potential shift from music career.

Since 2021’s “The Matrix Resurrections,” no new entry in the Matrix series has surfaced, but there appears to be another installment on the horizon. The upcoming movie in this long-standing franchise, which initially seemed to have reached its conclusion with the trilogy, will be helmed by Drew Goddard, and it seems that the cast is slowly expanding for the next film.

In 1999, the movie known as The Matrix was released to great admiration. Two sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, were launched in 2003, but they didn’t receive nearly as much positive feedback as the first film. Lana Wachowski returned to the franchise without her sister Lilly in 2021 with The Matrix Resurrections, yet this fourth movie failed to resonate with fans and was generally considered a letdown, despite initial enthusiasm. As a result, some speculate that Goddard’s upcoming installment could serve as a reboot instead of continuing the storyline featuring Neo and Trinity, who were reunited one last time in the original film.

The Matrix 5 Could Add A Musical Superstar

Based on information from industry source @MyTimeToShineH, as reported by SFFGazette.com, there may be a possibility that Ariana Grande has been cast in the upcoming Matrix film, though specifics are currently limited. The tip comes from a single line in the insider’s paid newsletter stating “[Grande is] being considered for a major role in Drew Goddard’s next Matrix movie.

This rumor lacks substantial evidence and it’s uncertain how reliable it might be. However, there’s a chance Ariana Grande could appear in the film, but her role might not be as significant as currently speculated. Many roles in The Matrix movies aren’t as prominent as Neo, Trinity, or Morpius. If she does secure a lead role, whether it’s as a villain or a hero, it would represent a major leap forward for her acting career following her well-received performance in Wicked.

Ariana Grande has suggested before that she might want to slow down her music career and focus more on acting. To excel in this new endeavor, she’d likely need larger acting opportunities than what she had prior to her role in Wicked. She expressed her affection for acting and musical theater last year, stating, “Reconnecting with this aspect of myself… I love comedy, and it brings me comfort to explore roles that allow me to utilize these parts of myself.

Simultaneously, Ariana Grande often discussed her interest in acting within musical theater and films rather than action movies. It’s highly unlikely that she was considering a role in the fifth Matrix film at the time when she spoke about scaling back her music career. We’ll eagerly await confirmation of this rumor and discover what Wachowski (Goddard) might have planned for Ariana Grande in a tale exploring humanity’s struggle against intelligent machines.
