“The Matrix” director Lilly Wachowski has confirmed the much-loved film is a trans story. Wachowski, who co-directed the flick with her sister Lana, spoke about the long-standing fan theory 21 years after its release.
Wachowski, formerly known as Andy, said in an interview with Netflix Film Club: “I’m glad that it has gotten out that that was the original intention.
But the world wasn’t quite ready for it — the corporate world wasn’t ready for it.” RELATED: ‘The Matrix’ Sequel Pushed Back To Spring 2022 Release “I’m glad that people are talking about the ‘Matrix’ movies with a trans narrative; I love how meaningful those films are to trans people, and the way that they come up to me and say, ‘These movies saved my life,'” she shared.
