There are some mysteries thatThe Matrixnever quite resolved, butThe Matrix 5moviecould finally shed some light on them. Since the launch of the very firstMatrixmovie in 1999, the story has been complex and profound, asking if there is evidence for a machine takeover behind the scenes and if humans have free will. By the end ofThe Matrixtrilogy, finishing withThe Matrix Revolutionsin 2003, Keanu Reeves' Neo was one of the most famous and mysterious main characters in Hollywood history — andThe Matrix 5will continue to tell his story.

EveryMatrixmoviestars Reeves alongside Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity, who loves Neo across various versions of reality and between life and death. It was always a complex dilemma to estimate whether Trinity loved Neo because he was the One or whether he was the One because Trinity loved him, with Gloria Foster’s Oracle prophesizing that the One would be loved by Trinity.Neo’s status as the One has garnered a lot of attentionover the years, andThe Matrix 5could clarify if the status was in effect all the time or not.

It’s Unclear If Neo Was Always The One In The Matrix

It appears to many thatNeo became the One when he died and came back to lifein the firstMatrix, but it isn’t clear if he was the One in every version of the Matrix.The Matrix 5could explore this question, which is raised subtly in every movie in the franchise.

Others may have taken up the mantel before, or it has always been Neo.

Although it doesn’t seem thatNeo was the One in every version of the Matrix, there are certainly ways in which he could have been. Neo’s powers often defied explanation.

In light of the ongoing mystery, fans should be eagerly awaiting the next installment ofThe Matrixto see if this question is finally put to rest, perhaps through flashbacks or prequel storylines that explore other iterations of the Matrix.
