Will Smith Sends Fans Spiraling With This 'The Matrix' AnnouncementI am beginning to think that anything is possible in 2025. On Jan. 6, Will Smith shook the internet by posting a very cryptic post that fans are still hard at work trying to decipher. Is it another cool ad thing or is there more to this story than meets the eye?

More importantly, do fans even want a Matrix with Will Smith in it? We’re going to explore all this below.

Will Smith – Teases Fans With A ‘The Matrix’ Comeback

On Jan. 6, Will Smith rocked the ‘The Matrix’ fandom when he shared a short video that promptly announced his arrival in the Matrix.

And for all clarifications, yes, we do mean Keanu Reeves’ ‘The Matrix’ that’s been the stuff of legends since it dropped decades ago.

In the short clip, words appear on the screen in a Matrix-like orange font. It reads: “In the 1990s, the Wachowskis offered Will Smith the role of Neo in The Matrix.

Smith turned it down. He chose Wild Wild West, believing it was a better fit for him at the time. But the question remains… What would The Matrix have been with Will Smith as Neo?”

“Wake up Will…” the writing in the clip reads, adding, “The Matrix Has You.”

Fans React To Will Smith’s ‘The Matrix’ Announcement

Naturally, some fans were skeptical as to how Will Smith’s involvement in the billion-dollar franchise could drive the story forward. “So they’re gonna double down on making it worse than Matrix 4?” one wrote, with another adding, “The Matrix has become the slop it was warning us about.”

Some fans, however, chose to envision how this could all go down in a rather interesting way that doesn’t deviate from the original storyline. “Matrix 5 both Keanu Reeves and Will Smith.

Would it make Smith the 3 or something or are they going to retcon Matrix 1 and the whole franchise that he was the original The One before Neo/Tom?” one fan commented.

Others were skeptical about the legitimacy of the video: “I bet it’s not going to be a new movie and it’s just an ad or some random thing he’s going to do on social media, maybe a video edit of him in the scenes of the original movie.”

However, some producer came forward to disprove the theory of a Will Smith ‘The Matrix’ being in production. But who knows? Maybe they’re in ‘The Matrix’ too.
