The response to the film has been very mixed. It was praised for its smart continuation of the franchise. Others dumped it because it was too self-awareness and not enough action. We can agree that the film was made by Lana Wachowski, one of the people responsible for the franchise. It wasn't always going to be that way.
There was a rumour that Warner Bros was working on a new version of The Matrix for Michael B. Jordan. James McTeigue, one of the Matrix's producers, confirmed in a new interview that talks to continue the franchise without the Wachowskis did happen.
Yeah. When asked if there were other versions of the film that could have been made without Wachowski, McTeigue said that it was real. There were different versions. The fates dictated that Lana's story came at the right time, and Warner Bros. were willing to move forward with that story.
Warner Bros. was looking at other versions, which is to be expected from any major franchise with a brand name, but the company didn't find the right version. When Lana came back around, she said, 'Look.' They went with the person who was the creator of the Matrix, because they were interested in making another movie.
The new interview doesn't get into it, but around the time that the Jordan/Penn version made news, the Wachowskis were involved, and that's when Keanu Reeves made it clear that he wouldn't return to the franchise unless they were involved. The Wachowskis would have to be involved. They would have to direct it. We would see what the story is, but it would be weird. People die and stories don't. People in stories don't.
