It's been revealed today that
Aquaman star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has landed one of the lead roles in the next instalment of the
Matrix franchise. The project has already brought back original stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss, and while Laurence Fishburne's involvement remains unclear, this is obviously very exciting news.
No details have been revealed about the
Black Mirror standout's role, but previous reports have indicated that director Lana Wachowski was looking to cast a young Morpheus so it's possible that's who Abdul-Mateen II will be playing.
Lana wrote the
Matrix 4 script alongside Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell, and production is expected to begin early next year. That means we can probably expect to see it in theaters in 2021 or 2022 and it will be interesting to see how it comes together, especially after the last two instalments arguably failed to live up to the classic original.
