The latest The Matrix 4 trailer reminds us that while nosotros're more than gear up for the moving picture, Thomas "Neo" Anderson is every bit well. The second official trailer only dropped for the movie, and you lot tin can watch information technology right here at Tom's Guide to hear a new riff on a familiar and pretty iconic line of dialogue.

It'southward at the very end of the clip, which doesn't just give usa a niggling reminder nearly how far Neo's come (and how far he has to get to make things right). And while we'll explicate it below, we don't want to spoil this one for yous, every bit we bet this line is gonna become a large popular in the theaters. Bank check information technology out now:

So, if you're anything like us, you had a bit of a giddy reaction to Neo/Reeves saying "I still know kung fu." Reeves delivers the line after parkour-ing his way across a wall, doing a spinning boot and blasting a dude through a wall. This pretty much confirms that The Matrix Resurrections is going to evangelize the fan service that everyone's needed after and so many years.

The trailer begins with a flake of history about the Matrix movies, and a line of Agent Smith'southward (Hugo Weaving) dialogue ("billions of people, just living out their lives, oblivious") being finished past Jonathan Groff (whose character proper noun hasn't been revealed however). This suggests Smith is living through this new character, something nosotros get more confirmation of at the middle of the trailer, as Groff yells "MISTER ANDERSON!" It'due south difficult to tell if Weaving recorded new footage for this motion picture, but he's previously said he wasn't available to piece of work on it.

Next, it sounds like Yahya Abdul-Mateen 2 (every bit Matrix Resurrections' Morpheus), is offering Neo the chance (once again) to crack through the Matrix. Neo then appears in the white room seen above, and starts to remember what he'd forgotten. We see more of Neo and this new Morpheus' sparring, earlier we hear that a war is coming.

Why are Hugo Weaving and Laurence Fishburne not in Matrix 4?

There are two different answers to this big question. Weaving told Collider that he was approached to come back, maxim "Lana was very keen for me to be a office of [The Matrix four]. I really wanted to considering I'm very, very fond of all of them."

Unfortunately, he explained, he "was doing a play, at the time, but we were working out dates and things so that I could do both. And so, Lana decided that she didn't wanna change her dates, then I couldn't practise it."

As for why Laurence Fishburne isn't in Matrix 4? The respond isn't exactly public. Collider, again, got the sorta-scoop. Fishburne said "It would make sense that people would ask me that, so it doesn't get former. I am not in the next 'Matrix' movie, and you'd have to ask [Matrix 4 managing director] Lana Wachowski why, because I don't accept an answer for that."
