The new Matrix movie is just around the corner, and it’s the fourth iteration of The Matrix movie series. Warner Bros. confirmed the title of The Matrix 4 as The Matrix: Resurrections. The studio announced the title along with the first trailer during its CinemaCon presentation on Tuesday. The Matrix 4 also gets a release date and cast details. Let’s get into it.
The CinemaCon was held at the annual convention for the National Association of Theatre Owners in Las Vegas. As the event is not a virtual one, The Matrix 4 trailer unveiled during the presentation is only for the CinemaCon audiences as the trailer is not officially public yet. However, we got the reports and trailer breakdowns from other sources to get to know the details.
The Matrix 4 Trailer Breakdown
According to The Hollywood Reporter,
The trailer began with Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) in therapy, telling his therapist (Neil Patrick Harris), “I had dreams that weren’t just dreams. Am I crazy?” He senses something is not quite right with the world, but he has no memory of what The Matrix is. Later, he runs into a woman (Moss) at a coffee shop. They shake hands, and there seems to be something between them, but neither one remembers the other. Meanwhile, Reeves’ Thomas spends his days taking prescription blue pills, and wondering why everyone in his world is glued to their phones — looking around and realizing he’s the only one on a crowded elevator not looking at a device.
Eventually, Reeves’ Thomas runs into a man (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) who is reminiscent of Morpheus, the freedom fighter played by Laurence Fishburne in the original trilogy. This mysterious man hands Anderson a red pill, and soon we see footage of him with powers, seeing The Matrix for the fake reality that it is. The footage followed some similar beats of the original, including Neo (Reeves) fighting the Morpheus-like figure in a dojo, and an image of Anderson in an incubator. There’s also a shot of Neo looking in a mirror and seeing an older version of himself. Neo also seems to have a few new powers from the last time, with the trailer including a shot of what looks like him controlling a missile through telekinesis to prevent it from hitting him.
The Matrix 4 Cast
In addition to the above mentions, The Matrix 4: Resurrections also casts Priyanka Chopra, Jessica Henwick, Ellen Hollman, Jonathan Groff, and Daniel Bernhardt. Lana Wachowski is the Director of The Matrix 4, also the co-director of the previous three movies.
The Matrix 4 Release Date
The Matrix 4: Resurrections will hit both theatres and HBO Max on December 22.
