The Matrix

Short Answer: Animatrix 2

There were 20 years for Neo inside the Matrix between parts 3 and 4 of the series... but 60 years in reality? Not sure how that works, since others are involved-- in both realities-- but whatever.

Meanwhile, only six months separate parts 1 and 2.  No time passes between parts 2 and 3. 

In any case, stuff happened before the first movie, between the movies, and in other places while the movies' events were happening. Many of those events were shown in animated form in a series of very well made shorts collected as the Animatrix.

Well, with so much time passing between parts 3 and 4, isn't time for another installation of the Animatrix, to help fill in the gap in the story? It can tie up loose ends, plug plot holes, even introduce other ideas, all like the first set of animations did. 

Many new animators have emerged on the scene since 2003, when the first Animatrix dropped. It would be insane to think they could get another one released in 2023, in time for the 20th anniversary (it's late July 2022 as I write this)-- but shooting for the 25th anniversary in 2028? 

Doable. A new Animatrix on the original's 25th anniversary would be news.
