There's currently no word on whether original Matrix leads Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne-Moss, Laurence Fishburne, and Hugo Weaving will be involved in any way, but a new rumour claims to reveal one of the project's leads: Wicked star Ariana Grande!

 

According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH (via SFFGazette.com), "[Grande is] eyed for a leading role in the next Matrix movie from Drew Goddard." That's all we have to go on for now, though this would be a huge step forward for the singer's acting career after her critically acclaimed performance in Wicked.

Ariana and will smith?

[ariananext]

So many rumors about her next projects. I wonder when we'll get official info.

[EtherealCat]

i hope its true and she has lots of fight scenes

[Princess Aurora]

Interesting

[LustSpell]

Yeah, it's looking pretty obvious why she's stepping back from music for now. Clearly she must be in the talks for some big, big roles.

Resurrections was **** but I would be here for another Matrix entry if done right. Ariana in an action movie would be fun also.

We're so here for it 

[R.E.M.]

In the last few months post-Wicked she's been rumoured to do a romcom, Audrey Hepburn biopic, a slapstick comedy, a Disney live action movie, and now The Matrix WHEW Hollywood "It-Girl" tingz

 

I was hoping her next role would be something darker/more dramatic, if I'm being honest. She obviously shines in comedic roles but I want to see a greater/wider range of her abilities (I know she has them).

[HASHTAGPOW]

I see her character as the Lion's Roar lady 

 

[Digitalism]

I hope Ariana is a little bit smarter chosing her projects 

A Matrix reboot directed by  Drew Goddard is not the best of options 

[LittleStarmen]

Sounds terrible idea.

 

Actors/Singers are hit on musi/musical moments... It never works otherwise

[Onyxmage]

Oh god probably another ditzy character with a high pitched voice.  

[ArtDeco]

random choice, she doesn't really fit the aesthetic..

[Rogue_Redux]

I can't see it.  

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

Ariana doesn't give me bad ass Matrix vigilante action star at all, sorry. It is not the energy she gives off as a person. She gives off musical/broadway vibes all the way.

 

Outside of her, WHO approved of anotherr Matrix movie? The last one with Keanu recently was horrible. It's time to let it rest. Hollywood is so tired.
