The last few years have been huge for Keanu Reeves, especially as he continued to build out the John Wick franchise with John Wick: Chapter 4 and a supporting role in Ballerina. Reeves also made his debut in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise back in 2024 as Shadow the Hedgehog, and he’s confirmed to return and reprise his role in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, which opens in theaters on March 19, 2027. Already in 2026, Reeves starred in one of the biggest Apple TV sleeper hits of the year with Outcome, which was written and directed by Jonah Hill. He can also be heard voicing Duke Caboom in Toy Story 5, which is one of the few 2026 films to reach $1 billion at the box office.

While many would argue that John Wick is Keanu Reeves' most famous role, he was transforming the sci-fi genre as Neo in The Matrix movies long before he was ever cracking skulls as a High Table assassin. Reeves has starred in four Matrix movies, The Matrix (1999), The Matrix Revolutions (2003), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), and the legacy sequel, The Matrix Resurrections (2021). All the way back in 2024, it was announced that Warner Bros. Discovery was working on another Matrix movie, but few details are known about the project at this time. Drew Goddard is writing the script for the film, but casting and plot details are being kept under wraps at this time. While some fans have cast doubt that the movie is actually going to happen, Warner Bros. Discovery doubled down on the future of The Matrix this afternoon, confirming that the fifth film is in active development and likely to be released after 2027.

Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you'd actually make it out of alive.

🚀Star Wars
QUESTION 1 / 8INSTINCT
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
QUESTION 2 / 8RESOURCE
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
QUESTION 3 / 8THREAT
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you're honest about what you're actually afraid of.
QUESTION 4 / 8AUTHORITY
04
How do you deal with authority you don't trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
QUESTION 5 / 8ENVIRONMENT
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn't just tactical — it's physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
QUESTION 6 / 8ALLIANCE
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
QUESTION 7 / 8MORALITY
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they're actually made of.
QUESTION 8 / 8PURPOSE
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You'd Survive In…

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You're a systems thinker who can't help but notice the seams in things.

  • You're drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
  • You'd find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines' worst nightmare.
  • You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
  • The Matrix built an airtight prison. You'd be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max

The wasteland doesn't reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That's you.

  • You don't need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
  • You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you're good at all three.
  • You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
  • In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner

You'd survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

  • You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
  • In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
  • You're not a hero. But you're not lost, either.
  • In Blade Runner's world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

  • Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they're survival tools.
  • You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
  • Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You'd learn its logic and earn its respect.
  • In time, you wouldn't just survive Arrakis — you'd begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn't have it any other way.

  • You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
  • You'd gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire's grip can be broken.
  • You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn't something you're capable of.
  • In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

What Else Did Warner Bros. Announce?

One of the most exciting announcements made during the new Warner Bros. Discovery press release is that Jim Carrey is set to star in a live-action Jetsons film, which is also going to be released after 2027. Warner Bros. also confirmed the active development of a new Game of Thrones movie centered around Aegon’s conquest, as well as Matt Reeves’ new Batman sequel that’s now filming ahead of its February 2028 premiere date. Coming in 2027 for Warner Bros. are F.A.S.T. from Taylor Sheridan, an Ocean’s prequel from Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper, and The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.
