Neo is back, and theMatrixuniverse is more complicated than ever.
The first trailer forThe Matrix: Resurrections, the fourth movie in the rebooted franchise, dropped on Thursday to much excitement.
“I had dreams that aren’t just dreams. Am I crazy?” Neo asks, before we see flashes of his very domestic — and boring — life now.
Thankfully he soon runs into Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss). They don’t remember each other, but both feel like they’ve met before.

Then Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s character appears with a red pill just as Neo is starting to see strange things all around him.
“Time to fly,” he says, and Neo is plunged back into the world of the Matrix.
The rest of the action-packed trailer shows how Neo will do anything to reunite with Trinity and save her.
The clip ends with a prophetic line from Jonathan Groff.
Warner Bros. recently revealed first-look footage of the upcoming blockbuster at CinemaCon, in addition to announcing that the new chapter’s official title isThe Matrix: Resurrections.
Some of the scenes in the trailer were also teased in an interactive experience for fans created around the movie. The websiteWhatIsTheMatrix.cominvites fans to choose between the fabled red or blue pills before a narration plays and a series of images flash on screen.
“This is the moment for you to show us what is real. Right now you believe it’s…” Abdul-Mateen’s character says when you access the site “…but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Could be this is the first day of the rest of your life, but if you want it, you gotta fight for it.”
Meanwhile, Harris' narration strikes a different, calmer tone.
“Do you remember how you got here?” in a very Agent Smith-style timbre. “You’ve lost your capacity to discern reality from fiction. What’s real is here and now.” He then mentions the time on the clock and continues, “Anything else is just your mind playing tricks on you. It becomes a problem when fantasies endanger us. We don’t want anyone to get hurt, do we?”
Jada Pinkett Smith, Lambert Wilson and Daniel Bernhardt are reprising their roles from the original trilogy.Priyanka Chopra Jonas,Yahya Abdul-Mateen II,Christina Ricci, Jonathan Groff andJessica Henwickhave also joined the cast in undisclosed roles.
