Morpheus is an important character in the original trilogy, and it was played by Laurence Fishburne.

The original trilogy ended with the deaths of some of the main characters. What will be the next movie be about? According to Screen Rant, there is a way to bring dead characters back in the franchise because it has been done before.

Neo (Keanu Reeves) died once before in the movies, but he came back stronger and became the main superhero in the fight against the machines. Neo is set to return in “The Matrix 4,”with Reeves reprising the role.

Another theory about how Neo and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) can return is from the idea that details of these characters were stored like a computer file that can be retrieved while building the new Matrix. The franchise has already revealed that the massive dream world has been built several times, and it is possible that all the characters from the previous version return in this new world by simply copy pasting their codes.

Filming of “The Matrix 4” is expected to being in the coming weeks. The movie will be directed by Lana Wachowski, who was involved in the original trilogy, and it will be released on May 21, 2021.
