‘The Matrix Resurrections’ is returning to a world the original film predicted and shaped

Neo and bullets being frozen in mid-air is back. Today, the world got a glimpse of the first trailer for the filmmaker Lana Wachowski's The Matrix Resurrections, and it's a thrilling mirror into a world we already live in.

In The Matrix Resurrections trailer, Thomas Anderson, played by Keanu Reeves and dressed like John Wick, is confused by recurring dreams of his past life as humanity's savior, Neo. He's also been scarfing down blue pills, which in The Matrix world means he's been ingesting reality suppressors that keep him in the fabricated world of the matrix. Eventually, it appears Anderson becomes Neo again, displaying his trademark powers such as stopping bullets in mid-air, but this time also redirecting a missile in mid-flight — a major scene we'll all be waiting to see on a giant movie screen. He's visited by an as-of-yet unnamed character played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who makes him decide between the red and blue pill similar to Laurence Fishburne's Morpheus in the original Matrix trilogy.
