Keanu Reeves starrer The Matrix was released in 1999 and it became one of the highest-grossing movies of the year. The film even left behind movies like Fight Club, American Beauty, and The Mummy.
2003’s The Matrix Reloaded also was well received by the audience. The 2003 sequel broke the box-office record of James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The film earned a whopping $739.4 million at the box-office. It was considered to be the highest box-office collection for an R-rated movie for a long time until it was broken by Deadpool (2016). However, the 2003’s The Matrix Revolution didn’t fare well as compared to the previous instalments. It was panned by critics for its lack of depth.
Now the makers are shooting The Matrix 4. The film has been subjected to numerous theories and discussions. One of the theories that were making rounds that the upcoming movie will be a prequel. The film will show Keanu Reeves going back in time to recruit Morpheus to aid their battle against the machines.

Going by Keane Reeves’ cryptic statement, The Matrix 4 is going to be a different version.
