The world of The Matrix may be entering a new dimension, thanks to a cryptic Instagram post by Will Smith that has fans buzzing with excitement. Smith, originally approached to play Neo in the 1999 sci-fi classic, shared a video reflecting on the iconic role he famously declined. Accompanied by a caption reading, “What could’ve been… maybe still could be?”, the post has set the internet ablaze with speculation about his potential involvement in the franchise. For years, fans have speculated about how Smith might have interpreted the role of Neo, which eventually became synonymous with Keanu Reeves’ career. Smith has openly discussed his decision to pass on The Matrix in favor of Wild Wild West, admitting he didn’t fully grasp the Wachowskis’ groundbreaking vision at the time. In his Instagram post, he revisits that choice, playfully imagining himself dodging bullets in the signature Neo style. While there’s been no official confirmation of Smith joining the franchise, his Instagram post has reignited interest in the actor’s potential role in future projects. Some fans have theorized that Smith’s video could hint at a new iteration of The Matrix, possibly exploring an alternate reality where his version of Neo exists. Others believe he could appear in a sequel or spin-off, perhaps as a new character or an older version of a central figure.
