Will Smith Hints at Possibly Starring in a New THE MATRIX Movie

In film history, one intriguing “What If?” question revolves around the potential difference if Will Smith had accepted the role of Neo in the Matrix movies instead of the Wild Wild West. Initially offered the leading part by the Wachowskis, Smith opted for the Wild Wild West movie instead – a choice that led to an entire franchise and one of the most impactful sci-fi films ever made, which was not Wild Wild West. (Side note: I personally find that movie quite enjoyable with his stellar performance.) Despite this, Will Smith has consistently expressed satisfaction with his decision, and it’s challenging to envision anyone other than Keanu Reeves in the Neo role. However, recent speculation arises as Will Smith shares a mysterious Instagram video hinting at a possible involvement in future Matrix films.

The video resembles the dark computer screen from the first movie where Neo received a message, starting with an orange text display reading as follows:

1997 saw the Wachowskis presenting the part of Neo in The Matrix to Will Smith, who declined. Instead, he opted for Wild Wild West, feeling it was more suitable for him at that moment. However, one can’t help but wonder: How might The Matrix have differed with Will Smith as Neo?

These screens truly stirred up excitement among the fans. They feature messages that read “Time to wake up, Will…” and “The Matrix still holds you…”

Did Will Smith recently share a cryptic Matrix message on his posts without any additional captions, causing a stir among fans who speculate it could be a hint towards a new Matrix movie? Could Will Smith be reprising his role or perhaps collaborating with Keanu Reeves in this potential project? Is the film a reboot, a continuation, or is it merely a playful tease from Will on Instagram? At this point, these questions remain unanswered but it seems like he’s dropping hints about something exciting coming up soon. His long-time collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff fueled the speculation by posting fire emojis, suggesting that he too is in the loop regarding The Fresh Prince’s plans. Stay tuned for updates on this intriguing development.
