A new teaser for The Matrix Resurrections has been released and it was mind-boggling. In the new teaser, we hear Trinity in the background explaining "a déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix, it happens when they change something" which came from the original movie - repeatedly. Scenes from the previous three movies were all mixed together, as well as some scenes from the upcoming movie. There’s also a brief look at Jonathan Groff’s character looking sinister, suggesting he might be this movie’s villain.
In the teaser, it also looks like the new Matrix simulation is a reboot using the old code, judging by the voice toward the end of the teaser. This could explain how Trinity and Neo are still alive and well again after both of them died back in The Matrix Revolutions. This might also explain why there is a heavy focus on déjà vu, as well as the dreams of Neo that were mentioned in the first trailer.
The official synopsis for the new Matrix movie, titled The Matrix Resurrections, goes as: "In a world of two realities – everyday life and what lies behind it – Thomas Anderson will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. Choice, while an illusion, is still the only way in or out of the Matrix, which is stronger, more secure, and more dangerous than ever before." It looks as if the rebooted simulation will be a very dangerous enemy in the new movie.
The original stars such as Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will be returning to their roles as Neo and Trinity. Although Laurence Fishburne will not be returning for the movie, a new version of Morpheus will be in the film, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. other returning stars are Daniel Bernhardt as Agent Johnson, Lambert Wilson as The Merovingian, and Jada Pinkett Smith as Niobe. Some of the new cast include Jessica Henwick, Neil Patrick Harris, and Priyanka Chopra. Lana Wachowski will be returning to direct, co-write, and co-produce the new movie but without her sister Lilly.
The Matrix Resurrections will be released to US theaters and HBO Max on December 22, 2021.
