The Matrix Star Still Upset Over Character's Death, Says Wachowskis 'F***ing Lied' About His Fate

In a recent interview, actor Joe Pantoliano, who played the character Cypher in "The Matrix," expressed his continued frustration over the way his character's death was handled in the film. Pantoliano claims that the Wachowskis, the directors of "The Matrix," "f***ing lied" to him about Cypher's fate. Pantoliano states that he was told his character would not be killed off, but the Wachowskis ultimately decided to have Cypher betrayed and killed in the film. The actor says he was upset by this decision, as he felt it was a disservice to the character and his storyline. Despite the passing of over two decades since the release of the original "Matrix" film, Pantoliano's disappointment over Cypher's death remains. He believes the Wachowskis should have been more forthcoming with him about the plans for his character, rather than providing false assurances. The article highlights the lasting impact that creative decisions can have on actors, even years after a film's release.
