[169] In an interview with Variety, Reeves said he did not know the film was an allegory for transgender identity during production. Morpheus warns Neo that death within the Matrix kills the physical body too and explains that the Agents are sentient programs that eliminate threats to the system, while machines called Sentinels eliminate rebels in the real world.

[151] After watching The Matrix, Gibson commented that the way that the film's creators had drawn from existing cyberpunk works was "exactly the kind of creative cultural osmosis" he had relied upon in his own writing;[8] however, he noted that the film's Gnostic themes distinguished it from Neuromancer, and believed that The Matrix was thematically closer to the work of science fiction author Philip K. Dick, particularly Dick's speculative Exegesis. As such, the sequelwill be moving on without him. On 13 March 2011, The Key Man, which Weaving filmed in 2006, finally debuted at the South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. The Matrix 4 is currently set to hit theaters on April 1, 2022.

[50], Moss performed the shots featuring Trinity at the beginning of the film and all the wire stunts herself. Submissions should be for the purpose of informing or initiating a discussion, not just to entertain readers. [165] The red pill has been compared with red estrogen pills. In addition, the Matrix scenes' sets were slightly more decayed, monolithic, and grid-like, to convey the cold, logical and artificial nature of that environment. Assuming the plan is for The Matrix 4 to usher in a new trilogy or more of Matrix movies (which it most likely is), the franchise would probably do well toshift its focus onto a new generation of heroes and villains and away from the original trilogy's leads (a la what Star Wars did with The Force Awakens) as much as possible.
