‘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.”
