‘The Matrix Resurrections’ Trailer: First Look at Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Morpheus

The new trailer for the highly anticipated fourth installment of the Matrix has arrived. The cast features returning stars Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith, as well as Priyanka Chopra-Jonas, Neil Patrick Harris, Jonathan Groff, Jessica Henwick, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

In the video, Neo appears to be back to the “normal” realm of the Matrix, navigating his new reality. The trailer also showed Mateen’s character giving Neo the infamous red pill and fighting alongside him. That, of course, led many to believe he was the new Morpheus.

Earlier this year, Lawrence Fishburne, who originally played the character, revealed that he was not offered to return to the latest installment. “I am not in the next Matrix movie, he said, “you’d have to ask Lana Wachowski why, ’cause I don’t have an answer for that.”

As fans theorized, Mateen took it to social media to confirm he is indeed playing a version of Morpheus. The actor shared a photo of himself from one of the scenes and captioned it “MORPHEUS.”

‘Master’: Regina Hall Stars in New Horror Movie

Amazon Studios debuted the official trailer for its upcoming thriller titled Master, starring Regina Hall. The film first premiered during the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and will be released in theaters and on Prime Video on Friday, March 18.

Written and directed by Mariama Diallo, Master tells the story of three women who strive to find their place at a prestigious New England university whose frosty elitism may disguise something more sinister. Professor Gail Bishop (Hall) has recently been promoted to “Master” of a residence hall, the first time at storied Ancaster College that a Black woman has held the post.

Determined to breathe new life into a centuries-old tradition, Gail soon finds herself wrapped up in the trials and tribulations of Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee), an energetic and optimistic Black freshman. Jasmine’s time at Ancaster hits a snag early on when she’s assigned a dorm room that is rumored to be haunted. Things get worse when Jasmine clashes in the classroom with Liv Beckman (Amber Gray), a professor in the middle of her own racially charged tenure review. As Gail tries to maintain order and fulfill the duties of a Master, the cracks begin to show in Ancaster’s once-immaculate facade. After a career spent fighting to make it into Ancaster’s inner circle, Gail is confronted with the horrifying prospect of what lies beneath, her question ultimately becoming not whether the school is haunted but by whom.
