Priyanka Chopra-Jonas In Talks To Star In 'Matrix 4'

Renowned Indian actress Priyanka Chopra-Jonas has been creating a lot of buzz since her first U.S. TV show “Quantico” hit the small screens in 2015 and she is in no mood to stop. The actress has now been roped in to star in perhaps one of the biggest franchises in Hollywood and if everything goes well, she would add one more feather in her cap.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 37-year-old star is in negotiations to star in the fourth installment of the “Matrix.” The details of the deal are still under wraps and the character she is going to play in the movie has also not been revealed.

The “Mary Kom” actress started her Hollywood career in 2015 with the TV series “Quantico.” The series became a hit and cemented her place in the industry. After that, there was no looking back for Chopra. As of late, she has starred in more than four Hollywood feature films, including “Baywatch,” “A Kid Like Jake,” and “Isn’t It Romantic.”

The esteemed actress will also be starring in Robert Rodriguez’s superhero film “We Can Be Heroes” alongside Pedro Pascal, Christian Slater and Sung Kang. The film is slated to hit theaters in 2021.

The reboot of the highly-successful “Matrix” franchise will see the return of lead actors Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss for the continuation of the series alongside Lana Wachowski, who will be directing the movie. Wachowski also wrote the script with Aleksander Hemon and David Mitchell. Apart from writing and directing, Wachowski will also produce the film with Grant Hill.

The first film and its two sequels – “The Matrix Reloaded” and “The Matrix Revolutions” – accumulated a staggering $1.6 billion at the global box office. Reeves and Anne-Moss portrayed the roles of Neo and Trinity in all three movies of the “Matrix” franchise.

“Aquaman” star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will also be playing a pivotal role in the movie, and in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly said that the script of “Matrix 4” is “very exciting” and “relevant.” He isn’t allowed to share any details about the film yet, but he said that he is “honored” to be part of the project.

The fourth movie in the “Matrix” franchise will be released on May 21, 2021.
