Warner Bros. seeking an actor to play a younger version Neo is likely that the movie would feature some backstories and to replicate The Matrix's vibe as much as possible.
As of now, we have no idea what story Lana Wachowski is planning to do with The Matrix 4. Although this movie is ought to be highly-anticipated since the ever-popular Keanu Reeves will return to the franchise. Despite his character being dead in The Matrix Revolutions, his part of the movie isn't definite yet. Reeves' return could be a good contrast for the potential flashbacks that might be featured with the young Neo.

Wachowski will work on a script written by Aleksander Hemon and David Mitchell. The Matrix 4 doesn't have a release date just yet, but production might begin sometime in 2020.
