Thoughts-and future of Matrix series

What I would have liked to have seen is more of Neo as Religious Evangelist
inside the Matrix - attracting large groups of followers and giving them the
sermon about how their minds are trapped - then demonstrating to them with
supernatural signs and wonders that he is "The One". Perhaps scenes of
devout followers debating skeptics over his claims- and of course The agents
trying to do damage control by explaining away his abilities as magic
tricks. The Agents would of course then show some of their own supernatural
ability - and tell the crowds that it is all illusions...

Why not have somebody walk past an enquirer type magazine with Neo on the
front and the headline "SuperHero or Saviour?"

We got a taste of Neo as religious icon in Zion - but I wanted more superman
saves metropolis moments inside the Matrix itself- to see the masses react
with awe as he works his miracles.

Also, Since the trilogy borrows so much from Christian themes, it would seem
that we are due to see more Matrix movies in the future. After all, this
version of Neo was the six incarnation of the anomolly. Since the Bible
puts so much emphasis on the number seven, it would seem that the seventh
incarnation of the anomolly would be the perfect number for completion.

I can see your point but feel that Neo was never comfortable in that
role. He may have been the Christ figure but at heart he was an average guy.
He seemed to be very ill at ease in Zion when he had to assume the role of
religious icon. The Matrix is about how an average guy assumes the role of
hero. His lack of superman bravado or Jesus like piety makes him all that
much more appealing.
