Drew Goddard, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of The Martian, has been set to write and direct a new Matrix movie at Warner Bros.

I started rolling my eyes before I saw Drew Goddard’s name, who apparently approached WB with his own idea. He is an incredibly gifted storyteller and I believe his passion for this world is sincere. I’m pretty excited to see what he has in mind.

    Seeing The Good Place on his resume is the most reassuring thing I could have hoped to see for this movie. I don’t want anyone making a Matrix sequel who couldn’t have equally made a Speed Racer sequel and I think he has the chops for that.

      He has a pretty versatile body of work, and I think one of the biggest throughlines is that he’s very intuitive about how to approach a given story or idea. I’m not a huge Daredevil comics fan, but his take on the character for the Netflix show (at least the first season when he was involved) is about as near perfect an adaptation as I could possibly imagine (due in no small part also to Charlie Cox’s masterclass performance).
