News Summary

• The Matrix star Joe Pantoliano has said he was "lied" to by the Wachoskis about his character Cypher's fate.
• He had specifically requested the film's script be changed so his character survived the movie.
• As it is, the last audiences see of Cypher — in any The Matrix film — is the duplicitous character getting electrocuted by a lightning gun and blasted off screen.
• The Matrix Resurrections is expected to be released in 2021.
