Jada Pinkett Smith in Talks to Reprise Niobe in The Matrix 4!

Deadline is reporting that Jada Pinkett Smith (Girls Trip) is in talks to reprise her role as Niobe in Warner Bros.’ sequel The Matrix 4. She played the resistance pilot in The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, the Enter the Matrix videogame and The Matrix Online multiplayer game. Smith joins a cast that includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris and returning cast members Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss.

Production on the film is scheduled to begin in early 2020, Wachowski co-wrote the script with Aleksander Hemon and David Mitchell and will direct the film as well.

Plot details on the film also haven’t been revealed, and given the ending of 2003’s The Matrix Revolutions, it’s not a clear cut answer.

Earlier this year we asked our readers if they were interested in more movies in the series, with 69% of those voting saying “Yes!” In a secondary poll, 58% said they wanted to see a continuation of the series. Looks like they’ll be getting what they wanted!
