Other stories in an "expanded universe" could be great. The original film already introduced the "world" and presented a character growing into himself and his abilities; I hope we can avoid a repetition of that.

Agreed on that. But, remember that "the one" happens in every iteration of the Matrix, and that they always come from an unplugged human. So, naturally, the person who is unplugged that finds themselves as "the one" will *need* to go through some sort of "realizing their power" struggle before they have the one's abilities.

That said...it could go one of a few ways.

-A prequel showcasing one of the Animatrix stories (if the writers are lazy and can't come up with an original story)
-A movie showing the 7th version of the Matrix with a new "The One"
-A movie showing the 6.5th version of the Matrix, and Revolutions ended in not a "reboot" of the Matrix, but the code corrected itself when Neo and Smith died.
-Neo is brought back in the 7th version of the Matrix because of the residual self image, and he's the 7th One. Frankly, I'd be okay with this -- Keanu is still badass.

Perhaps John Wick discovers he is the One...
