Hugo Weaving's Agent Smith Almost Showed Up In The Matrix Resurrections

The Matrix is one of the most prolific action movie franchises of all time, with the newest sequel, The Matrix Resurrections releasing to an enthusiastic reception from fans (though critical and commercial reception has been underwhelming). Furthermore, Hugo Weaving's Agent Smith is one of the most recognizable modern movie villains due to his sunglasses, tuxedo, and perfect neutral scowl. Now, it has been confirmed that Hugo Weaving was once in talks to reprise the role of Smith before Jonathan Groff was selected to assume the role instead.
