Lana Wachowski added a fun little reward for anyone who stays through the credits to her sci-fi sequel.
Fans know to stay put through the credits on a Marvel movie, but maybe not on a Matrix movie. However, they definitely should when it comes to The Matrix Resurrections, which is now in theaters and streaming on HBO Max. Resurrections is the long-awaited sequel to the original Matrix trilogy ( The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions) which brings back Keanu Reeves as Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity. Both characters died in Revolutions, or so we thought—but co-writer and director Lana Wachowski explores what happened next in her new film. And after all of The Matrix Resurrections ’ action and drama, there’s the credits. If you’re like most people, you probably stopped the film there. But Wachowski has a cheeky little surprise at the end and here’s what happened. If you’ve seen the movie, you know that in this new version of the Matrix, created by the machines to house Neo and Trinity after Revolutions, Thomas Anderson created a hugely successful franchise of games called… The Matrix.
