The fourth Matrix movie title finally revealed during first footage screening

The new scenes sound very... intriguing.

For a movie that is coming out in less than four months, we know very little about The Matrix 4. Or at least we didn't before a screening of new footage by Warner Brothers at CinemaCon on Tuesday this week, which presented not only the very first footage from the movie, but also the official title. Following on from the theme of the names of the sequels, after 2003's The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, this year we'll be getting The Matrix Resurrections. According to a report by Deadline, the footage is basically the trailer that the general public will likely be seeing any day now, featuring both Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), except they don't appear to know each other. Neo is visiting a therapist (played by Neil Patrick Harris), who prescribes him "two blue pills a day". However, once Neo crosses paths with what is allegedly a younger version of Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne did not return for the sequel), and he is offered a red pill and told it is "time to fly", then things definitely become more Matrix-y, with acrobatics and martial arts and a moment where Neo controls a missile with telekinesis. Additional Matrix alumni such as Jada Pinkett-Smith, Daniel Bernhardt, and Lambert Wilson will also be returning for the new movie, and they'll be joined by newbies to the franchise Christina Ricci, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Priyanka Chopra and Jonathan Groff. We recently chatted to Yahya Abdul-Mateen II during the press run for Candyman about The Matrix Resurrections (notice how he keeps calling it "that project", never giving away the title at the time, what a pro!), and he did chat about one scene in particular that he is excited for audiences to see. Watch that interview in full below. The Matrix Resurrection is due to arrive in Irish cinemas on Wednesday, 22 December this year.
