It's time for another Matrix movie! Just after the first movie of the much-acclaimed sci-fi franchise The Matrix celebrated its 25th anniversary, the makers have confirmed that another new instalment of the franchise is in the works.&nbsp;

On Thursday (March 4), Warner Bros announced that the new instalment of the movie is going to be helmed and written by Drew Goddard.

Goddard, who now has the responsibility to make the fifth&nbsp;movie of the Cyberpunch media franchise a hit, has an impressive career. He has earned an Oscar nomination for best-adapted screenplay for The Martian.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-does-dc%E2%80%99s-supergirl-finally-have-its-director-in-craig-gillespie-707582">Does DC’s Supergirl finally have its director in Craig Gillespie?</a>

He started his career by writing TV shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Alias and Lost before&nbsp;shifting&nbsp;to screenwriting and then directing. He's also the creator of Marvel’s acclaimed series Daredevil on Netflix.

Goddard's&nbsp;directing credits include The Good Place, Cloverfield, The Cabin in the Woods and World War Z.

This will be the first movie in the Keanu Reeves led-franchise that will not be helmed by creators Lana and Lilly Wachowski, who have directed the first four parts of the franchise.&nbsp;

Although the Wachowskis are not involved directly in the series, Lana Wachowski will be the executive producer of the next Matrix movie.&nbsp;

The plot details of the forthcoming movie have been kept under wraps. But, in a statement, the makers have said that Goddard has approached them with a very unique idea.&nbsp;

“Drew came to Warner Bros. with a new idea that we all believe would be an incredible way to continue the Matrix world, by both honoring what Lana and Lilly began over 25 years ago and offering a unique perspective based on his own love of the series and characters,” said Warner Bros. Motion Pictures president of the production Jesse Ehrman.

However, there is no confirmation whether&nbsp;Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving Carrie Anne-Moss, and Jada Pinkett-Smith will reprise their roles.&nbsp;
