At the news that one of the most famous film series at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries will be continued after many years, moviegoers from all over the world held their breath. For months, more reports have appeared on the fourth installment of “The Matrix”, in which the cult duo of Neo and Trinity, played by Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss, will return. The cast of the film is currently in Berlin, where, after a few months of break due to the outbreak of the pandemic, shooting is to begin soon. Although the plot of the production is still shrouded in mystery, we already know who will be missing on the screen in the continuation of the famous trilogy of the Wachowski sisters. We will not see Laurence Fishburne in the role of Morpheus.
In the latest interview, the actor revealed that he did not receive an offer to play his iconic character. – I wasn’t invited. Perhaps this will force me to write another play. I wish them all the best. I hope that the effect of their work will be great – he said in an interview with the biweekly “New York Magazine”. Fishburne admitted that the role of Morpheus remains the most important item in his acting portfolio. “I will probably always be most associated with her forever, which is great. However, I am glad that this is not the only thing that viewers will remember – he added.
The first part of “The Matrix” premiered in 1999. The next installments of the trilogy hit theaters in the spring and fall of 2003. As Keanu Reeves recently explained, he decided to take part in the new part of the series due to the “miraculous” plot film. – Lana Wachowski wrote a beautiful script and a great story that appealed to me. Working with her is just amazing. This film has a lot of significant things to tell, which I hope our viewers will appreciate – explained the star in an interview with Empire magazine. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II recently joined the production cast. It is speculated that he will play the younger version of Morpheus.
The world premiere of the fourth installment of “The Matrix” is scheduled for April 2022.
