‘Black Panther‘ actor Michael B. Jordan has been linked to a proposed reboot of the cult classic ‘The Matrix.’
Details below…
The movie’s originators The Wachowskis aren’t involved in Warner Bros’ plans to revive the story as it stands. However, according to murmurs spilled by Hollywood insiders, Michael B. Jordan is.
Yet to be confirmed or denied by Jordan or Warner, news of his union with the project claim he is to portray its leading man Neo, originally played by Keanu Reeves in 1999.
The original generated $460 million at the box office.
‘Deadline’, who broke the news of plans to reboot the movie, add:
The sequel The Matrix Reloaded did even better and grossed $742 million globally for Warner Bros and Village Roadshow Pictures. The finale released later that year in 2003, paled in comparison, but still grossed $427.3 million.

why?! why?? why?!
The original is a masterpiece!
Leave it alone.
It hasn’t even been 20yrs yet…I don’t get Hollywood…they must really be out of ideas.
I am so sick of the lazy bastards in Hollywood. Just make a new movie why reboot this so soon ? Nobody asked for this… I still watch the matrix when it comes on TV
Ugh why isnt anything original? Everything is reboots of old movies and shows man! :/
A reboot? The matrix is one of those movies that should not be touched ever again.
No, no, and no again. Instead of rebooting they should re-release the original trilogy in 3D.
Hollywood ran out of ideas years ago, literally every movie released this year is a remake, reboot, adaption and or sequal and it’s been like that for years, I’m suprised the “Hollywood has no originality whatsoever ” comments still exist….
.
I mean from 50 shades darker to fast and a furious MOTHERFUCKING 8 all these movies either belong to a franchise or are comic book / novel adaptions….. damn the last time I saw an original movie was back in 09 with Avatar
Well Avatar was really just a futuristic Pocahontas lol
Well at least there are movies like Hidden Figures, Moonlight, Get Out, and Split that have all done well and are original
Why remake it though? That world is so big why not just tell a different story with original characters 🙁
Im here for it, I love all things Matrix…. The story has endless possibility, And glad they are planning a reboot. Im down to give it a shot, with new characters. ofcourse the original will never be a comparison, As it is one of my fav trilogy films!
This is exciting for me as a fan, That story has so much potential, and quite frankly, I was never ready for it to end.
Ummmm….Neo was the protagonist not the antagonist. Wtf TGJ
Not a good idea at all period they should come up with a different movie that nobody never heard of before
