MOVIE NEWS – Or, as Keanu Reeves put it, The Matrix Resurrections is “the dynamic inverse of the trilogy.”

As usual, Keanu Reeves has once again given us the lowdown on the upcoming sequel to the iconic sci-fi series, The Matrix Resurrections, describing the film as an “inverse” of the original trilogy. In The Matrix Resurrections, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reunite to reprise their roles as Neo and Trinity, but the two characters undergo some significant changes this time.

“I mean, I would pitch that Resurrections is a kind of dynamic inverse of the trilogy.”

“[…] Where in the trilogy Trinity’s trying to support and wake up Thomas Anderson, now Thomas Anderson is in that position and role for Trinity. And where he’s supposed to be the one that’s going to be the… I don’t want to give too much away. But the relationship is different. It’s inverse. Yeah. Or maybe the opposite? Inverse-opposite? I don’t know.”

Speaking to Uproxx, Keanu Reeves explained that Neo and Trinity will, in a sense, be reversed in The Matrix Resurrections. From the latest trailers, we’ve seen that this time it’s Neo who breaks free from the Matrix’s digital prison and tries to free Trinity as a reverse of the first outing. Although in the footage we’ve seen so far, Neo has been using his powers as “The One”, this reverse approach (as well as Reeves suspiciously biting off a sentence) could confirm what many have already suspected about Trinity’s new role: could he be “The One” in the old-new universe of The Matrix Resurrections?

Despite all the trailers, the story of The Matrix Resurrections remains a mystery. One of the film’s biggest mysteries is how and why Neo and Trinity returned, especially since – spoiler alert – both members of the pair sacrificed their lives in the original trilogy’s finale. At first, it was suspected that Trinity was nothing more than a digital creature, but since then, we’ve seen the character in the real world, nurtured by machines. After Keanu Reeves’s recent interview, could it be that in the latest version of the Matrix, Trinity has become “The One”, and Neo’s job is to open her eyes to the truth and her destiny…?

The Matrix Resurrections will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures is scheduled for theatrical release on December 22, 2021. The film will also be streamed digitally on HBO Max in the US for a month from the same date.
