- The Matrix 4 is reduction filming once extra after a prolonged delay as a result of COVID-19.
- Laurence Fishburne, who performed Morpheus in all three originals motion photos, says he has “no longer been invited” to affix the cast of the fourth installment.
- The movie is scheduled to be released on April 1, 2022.
There is factual news for followers of the prolonged-awaited fourth film in the Matrix franchise, as the movie has once extra resumed production in Berlin following a five-month hiatus as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. That factual news has unfortunately been met with a puny bit of a puny bit extra questionable news, as Laurence Fishburne, who performed Morpheus in all three recent motion photos, confirmed that he would no longer be returning for Matrix 4.
“I in fact have not been invited,” Fishburne acknowledged in a glossy interview with Fresh York Journal pegged to the delay of his Broadway play return. “Presumably that can plan me write yet every other play. I’m buying for the blessing in that. I need them smartly. I’m hoping it’s immense.“
Fishburne, who in recent times has also regarded in Hannibal, Shaded-ish, and re-teamed with Keanu Reeves for the 2nd and third John Wick motion photos, outdated the interview as a likelihood to mirror on the Morpheus character, and his relationship to the recent motion photos.
“It’s miles per chance the characteristic that I’ll be simplest remembered for, which is immense; it’s no longer the handiest narrate I’ll be remembered for, which is higher. He’s fucking unprecedented,” he acknowledged. “What I rep with him is I’ve bought Darth Vader in this hand, and I’ve bought Obi-Wan in that hand. I’ve bought Bruce Lee, I’ve bought Muhammad Ali shuffled in there, and I bought kung fu. It’s somewhat factual.”
While Fishburne appears to be like to no longer be half of the sci-fi franchise’s gargantuan start up (even supposing we completely can’t rule out misdirection from a shock cameo right here), there is a large gamble that the character of Morpheus could well per chance very smartly be integrated then again. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II‘s character has been saved entirely below wraps, but a tweet final tumble from Vary‘s Justin Kroll in fact helpful that Abdul-Mateen could well per chance both playing a youthful version of Morpheus, or somebody otherwise connected to him.

Pondering that Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are every confirmed to indispensable particular person as Neo and Trinity respectively—brooding about every characters died on the tip of The Matrix Revolutions—or no longer it is dazzling to raise that a whereas-run or assorted mechanism will be outdated to vitality the movie’s predicament.
Fishburne isn’t always the good fundamental Matrix store who could well per chance no longer be returning for the upcoming sequel. Earlier this year Hugo Weaving, who performed the villainous Agent Smith in all three recent Matrix motion photos, confirmed that he wouldn’t be returning to the franchise as a result of a scheduling war.
“It’s sorrowful but in fact I had this offer [for a play called The Visit] and then the offer came from The Matrix, so I knew it became once taking place but I didn’t receive dates,” Weaving acknowledged. “I believed [I] could well per chance enact every and it took eight weeks to determine that the dates would work–I held off on accepting [his role in The Visit]. I became once in contact with [director] Lana Wachowski, but in the tip she decided that the dates weren’t going to work. So we’d sorted the dates and then she trend of changed her thoughts. They’re pushing on ahead without me.”
With the same fundamental in thoughts, or no longer it is worth brooding about that Agent Smith could well per chance gentle be performing in Matrix 4, but performed by a assorted actor. No longer handiest is time-run stuff potentially in play, but Agent Smith is, smartly, Agent Smith. Kind of a shape-shifter. Jonathan Groff is in the Matrix 4 forged—that could well per chance work.
