　　Now Playing: The Matrix Explained | 20th Anniversary Of The Matrix

　　The Matrix 4 will be directed by Lana Wachowski, who helmed the previous three Matrix movies with sister Lilly. The first reports of a new Matrix movie emerged in 2017, and in May this year, there were conflicting reports about whether it was happening or not. The movie was officially announced in August, and although it does not yet have a confirmed release date, it is expected to start shooting in early 2020.

　　The first Matrix movie brought in $463.5 million worldwide, and it spawned two sequels: 2003's Matrix Reloaded--grossing $742.1 million worldwide--and Matrix Revolutions--taking in $427.3 million worldwide. The franchise has earned more than $1.6 billion in total.

　　2019 marks the 20th anniversary of The Matrix, and while the first movie still holds up, the sequels--primarily Revolutions--are still as problematic as you remember. Check out The Matrix Sequels' 34 Dumbest Moments to relive the weirdness.
