With less than a month until The Matrix Resurrections hits screens, a new trailer hints at the possibility of multiple time loops of ideas and moments from the original trilogy of films.
Featuring clips from the first three Matrix films, the new trailer darts between the simulation world of the Matrix and the real world, with Keanu Reeves‘ Neo attempting to reunite with Carrie-Anne Moss’ Trinity.
While both characters appear to due at the end of 2003’s The Matrix Revolutions, an earlier trailer from last week, titled “Déjà Vu”, showed the characters at various ages, across several time loops. Given the latest instalment’s name, and the fact that the Matrix itself can be warped and manipulated, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to see history folding in on itself.
Despite the lack of information about the plot of the new Matrix film, director Lana Wachowski – who also wrote the script alongside authors David Mitchell and Aleksandar Hemon – has expanded on her reasons for revisiting Neo and Trinity, saying that it brought “comfort” in the wake of her parents’ deaths.
The Matrix: Resurrections is set to be released in cinemas on December 22, and will also be available to stream on HBO Max. Watch the latest trailer below.
