Matrix 4 may be left without Agent Smith
One of the main actors of the original Matrix trilogy will not return to his role in the fourth film: Hugo Weaving, who created the legendary character of Agent Smith, said that he was not participating in rehearsals for the future fantastic sequel. Despite the talk about mentioning the main antagonist in the script and the actor's readiness for filming, something went wrong ...Over the next month, Hugo Weaving will be busy advertising campaign for The Visit at the National Theater in Great Britain, and the production will run on stage until 13 May. That is why the actor will not be able to take part in the creation of the new part of the franchise. In a commentary to the news, Weaving clarified that the offer to play in the theater came earlier, and he tried to combine the schedules of rehearsals for the play and filming in the film. However, the agreement took so long that director Lana Wachowski considered Weaving's participation in the new film impossible. Agent Smith is rumored to be in the script for The Matrix 4, but what would the filmmakers do without a key franchise actor? Fans would not want to see anyone else in this image, but it seems that things are moving towards finding a new performer for the role. Fortunately, it has already been confirmed that Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will return in the guise of Neo and Trinity, along with their colleagues Jada Pinkett Smith (Niobe) and Lambert Wilson (Merovingen). New faces for the universe will also appear in the Matrix: Jonathan Groff ("Mind Hunter"), Neil Patrick Harris ("How I Met Your Mother"), Jessica Henwick ("Iron Fist") and others.  This time Lana Wachowski will direct the film alone: for unknown reasons, Lilly Wachowski is not involved in the production of the tape. Filming for Matrix 4 will begin this year, and the premiere is scheduled for May 2021. Source: Movieweb The Topic of Article: Matrix 4 may be left without Agent Smith. |
