The Matrix 4 now has an official title and it confirms that the upcoming sequel will be bringing back characters we thought were dead. In addition to that, the first official trailer has been dropped at CinemaCon 2021.
The fourth Matrix movie was part of Warner Bros.' panel at CinemaCon 2021, where the film was officially confirmed to go by The Matrix: Resurrections. The new movie will find Keanu Reeves' Neo living a new life as "Thomas" and has somehow forgotten about the events in the previous films. However, his past is about to catch up with him.
In addition to the official title, the first trailer for The Matrix 4 was dropped at CinemaCon 2021. Although the teaser is not yet available online, here's a description of the footage in the trailer.
"The new trailer opens in San Francisco, with Neo now going by the name of Thomas and seemingly unaware of who he is. Neil Patrick Harris plays his therapist and a brief scene of Neo as Thomas is shown in a therapy session. Neo says, "I've had dreams that don't seem like dreams. Am I crazy?" before he has flashbacks to events of the original trilogy.
"The trailer also expands on the initial footage of Trinity and Neo meeting, but this time, they don't seem to know each other even though they think they do. Trinity asks Neo as Thomas, "Have we met?" The trailer then shifts into montage mode, with Neo observing day-to-day life in the Matrix's version of San Francisco. Finally, Mateen shows up and he looks like a young Morpheus, saying, "Time to fly," before offering Neo a red pill and a blue pill. Then, another young woman with blue hair takes Neo through a mirror, showing him the Matrix.
"Another scene sees young Morpheus and Neo fighting before Neo breaks the dojo room with his powers. The trailer also shows that the machine pods are back, as are agents, and the franchise's signature action. Trinity can be seen fighting police officers and agents at one point before the clip ends with Neo pulling his signature move, stopping bullets with his mind, before he redirects an entire missile at a helicopter."
So when can we expect to see the Matrix 4 trailer? For now, Warner Bros. has not yet released the trailer publicly. However, it could be dropped very very soon.
The film is directed by Lana Wachowski and will also star Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris, Jessica Henwick, Jonathan Groff, Toby Onwumere, Max Riemelt, Eréndira Ibarra, Priyanka Chopra, Andrew Caldwell, Brian J. Smith, Ellen Hollman, and Christina Ricci.
