Gloria Foster (Oracle) died from diabetes before she could complete any scenes for the third film, as well as the game Enter the Matrix (2003). Mary Alice took over the role of the Oracle for both the third movie and the game. The Wachowskis decided to establish that in The Matrix universe, programs living inside The Matrix can change, and choose their forms and appearances. In Enter the Matrix, Oracle's change in appearance is addressed when the she herself explains to Niobe and Ghost that the Merovingian punished her for directing Neo to him. This caused the Merovingian to lose the Keymaker and several loyal henchmen, and in retaliation, he stole her old residual self-image, forcing her to use an older one which also limited several of her abilities, like her memory. In Revolutions, the initial conversation when Morpheus and Trinity meet the "new" Oracle was adapted to reference her changed appearance. The alternative was to have Morpheus and Trinity pretend not to notice, which perhaps would have been even more awkward. Very interestingly, for its Spanish premiere Foster's dub voice, Juana Beuter, was kept for Alice, giving to Oracle (in Spain at least) two different bodies but the same voice.
