Warner Bros. and HBO Max have dropped a new promo for The
Matrix Resurrections, which confirms that the film's next full trailer will
drop tomorrow, Dec. 6.
The 27-second teaser released today features new footage
from the next film in the Matrix saga (which will presumably be included in
tomorrow's trailer as well), including an apparent kiss between franchise
mainstays Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss). It also teases
that "the most important choice in Neo's life is not his to make."
Directed and co-written by Lana Wachowski, The Matrix
Resurrections is the fourth entry in the Matrix film series. Alongside her
sister, Lilly Wachowski, Lana wrote and directed The Matrix, which hit theaters
back in 1999 and would come to define a generation of action movies.
The Wachowskis subsequently returned to write and direct two
sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, both of which released
in 2003.
Lilly Wachowski is not involved in The Matrix Resurrections,
making it the first film in the franchise to be directed solely by Lana
Wachowski, who penned the movie's script alongside David Mitchell and
Aleksandar Hemon.
Set 20 years after the events of Revolutions, Resurrections
follows Neo (aka Thomas A. Anderson) as his mind is re-opened to the world of
the Matrix.
In addition to Reeves reprising his role as Neo and Moss
reprising her role as Trinity, Resurrections sees Matrix trilogy alums Jada
Pinkett Smith, Lambert Wilson and Daniel Bernhardt return as Niobe, The
Merovingian and Agent Johnson, respectively. Hugo Weaving will not reprise his
role as Agent Smith, nor is Laurence Fishburne expected to reprise his role as
Morpheus.
That said, Morpheus will indeed be in the movie, now played
by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Similarly, Priyanka Chopra Jonas takes over the role
of Sati, originally played by Tanveer K. Atwal.
Speaking of franchise newcomers, Resurrections also stars
Jessica Henwick as Bugs and Eréndira Ibarra as Lexy. Meanwhile, Jonathan Groff,
Neil Patrick Harris, Christina Ricci, Telma Hopkins, Max Riemelt, Toby
Onwumere, Brian J. Smith, Andrew Caldwell and Ellen Hollman have all been cast
in undisclosed roles.
Plug into The Matrix Resurrections in theaters or on HBO Max
on Dec. 22.
