• According to director and screenwriter Lana Wachowski, her decision to return to Neo and Trinity in the sequel was due to the death of both her parents (within five weeks of each other) and a close friend. Furthermore, she herself considered Neo and Trinity to be extremely important people in her own life. As for her sister, Lilly Wachowski, she held the opposite view, and recent losses convinced her not to participate in the project.
• Filming in San Francisco caused discontent and outrage among local residents due to damage to buildings and the street lighting system. As with the filming of the 2021 action films “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (Destin Daniel Cretton) and “Venom 2” (Andy Serkis), the filmmakers were forced to pay $420,000 to the San Francisco Police Department for filming permits.
• Lana Wachowski herself filmed the action scenes, so a second unit wasn't needed – unlike the filming of the first two sequels to the franchise in 2003.
• On the very first day of filming in Berlin, Priyanka Chopra Jonas was forced to deliver all her lines in front of the entire cast of the film against the backdrop of a luxurious sunset, as insisted upon by director Lana Wachowski. According to the actress, the shooting lasted 45 minutes and completely exhausted her.
• The first film in the franchise, which was originally planned to be shot in Chicago, Illinois – the hometown of the Wachowskis and the city that served as the prototype for the city in which the first three films of the franchise take place – had to abandon the idea of filming in Chicago due to the exorbitant growth of the film's budget during pre-production.
• Costume designer Lindsay Pugh asked Tom Davies to create new sunglasses for the film's characters. Davies had previously worked on creating glasses for other films, and for the 4th installment of the franchise, he created 200 pairs of glasses.
• According to Keanu Reeves, the jump with Carrie-Anne Moss from the roof of a skyscraper located at 44 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, was performed with almost no use of computer graphics, only using safety cables. Officially, the building has 43 floors, but there are another 2-3 technical floors located between them and the roof. During the two days of filming, the actors jumped from the top 20 times.
