It’s been revealed that The Matrix 4 will not be a prequel despite the fact that one of the movie’s characters has been confirmed to be young Morpheus.
It was revealed a while back that Watchmen and Aquaman actor, Yayha Abdul-Mateen II will be playing a younger version of Morpheus in the movie, however, this film will not be a prequel.
This news comes from We Got This Covered’s sources, who claim that the film features a younger Morpheus because he’s simply making himself appear younger whilst in the Matrix.
That actually makes a lot of sense especially with the likes of Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity.
It was also revealed that The Matrix 4 will feature the likes of Neil Patrick Harris and Jonathan Groff in undisclosed roles.
I’m really interested to see who’ll they’ll end up playing in the movie, but they do have something of Mr. Smith about them, so they could be playing updated versions of The Matrix’s strange virus.
