The new trailer for The Matrix Resurrections is here, and yes, it looks like Agent Smith is finally back! Hugo Weaving made it clear some time ago that, like Laurence Fishburne, he wouldn't be returning for Lana Wachowski's fourth instalment of the franchise, but Jonathan Groff (Hamilton) appears to be picking up where he left off and having a helluva fun time doing so.
There's a lot of new footage to delve into here, but it's such a random assortment of moments that we're really no closer to figuring out exactly what's going on. Neo (Keanu Reeves) is clearly going to find his way back out of the Matrix, but what that means for the world remains to be seen for now.
It looks epic, though, and something tells us we're going to be in for a wild ride with this one.
In The Matrix Resurrections, moviegoers will return to a world of two realities: one, everyday life; the other, what lies behind it. To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, to truly know himself, Mr. Anderson will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. And if Thomas...Neo...has learned anything, it’s that choice, while an illusion, is still the only way out of - or into - the Matrix. Of course, Neo already knows what he has to do. But what he doesn’t yet know is the Matrix is stronger, more secure and more dangerous than ever before. Déjà vu.
The cast also includes Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Neil Patrick Harris, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Jada Pinkett Smith.
The Matrix Resurrections arrives in theaters and on HBO Max on December 22.
