Yahoo News The Matrix 4 release date, cast, plot and everything you need to know
When M was announced Lana Wachowski was bringing back Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss for a fourth Matrix movie, the internet reacted... well, as you'd expect!
Since then, speculation has run rampant. Along with said speculation, however, a few details have been made public, and the closer we get to filming beginning the more details will be released.
So what do we know, and what can we glean from the news, so far?
The Matrix 4 cast: Who's joining Reeves and Moss in the Matrix?
When Warner Bros. officially confirmed the fourth Matrix movie, they also announced that Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss would be reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity.
But the rest of the cast list was thin, until now.
Neil Patrick Harris of How I Met Your Mother fame has signed onto the cast for a significant role. What exactly this role is, however, is being kept under wraps by both Wachowski and NPH.
Marvel star Jessica Henwick is in talks to play a leading role. You'll recognise her from the Netflix series Iron Fist, but who she'll play in the Matrix fourquel is still a mystery.
Also from the Marvel universe, though not the MCU, is Venom star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. He also starred in The Greatest Showman and will feature in HBO's TV series adaptation of Watchmen.
In addition, it has been reported that Jada Pinkett Smith is in talks to return to the role of Niobe, who she played in The Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions.
The Matrix 4 plot: Which pill are we swallowing now?
Lana Wachowski announced: "Many of the ideas [sister] Lilly [Wachowski] and I explored 20 years ago about our reality are even more relevant now. I'm very happy to have these characters back in my life and grateful for another chance to work with my brilliant friends."
We have no idea what ideas these might be, but we've rounded up some of the best and barking-est possible plots for you. The screenplay will be co-written by Wachowski and The Lazarus Project author Aleksandar Hemon and writer Cloud Atlas author David Mitchell, so you can bet it will be... dense.
The Matrix 4 release date and trailer: They'll come, but when?
There has been no official release date as of yet, but production is scheduled to start in February of 2020 in Chicago. And as for a trailer? Well, that's even farther away.
