“We have a wonderful director, Lana Wachowski, and she has written a beautiful script that is a love story, it’s inspiring,” he explained.
“It’s another version, a call to wake up and it has some great action. All will be revealed.”
Questioned on whether the film would be a prequel to the trilogy, Reeves responded: “No, no. No going in the past.” You can watch the clip above.
The Matrix 4 is currently set for release in April 2022, having faced delays in production during the coronavirus crisis. Ahead of the shutdown, Reeves was spotted filming as Neo in San Francisco’s Chinatown.
Meanwhile, Laurence Fishburne recently revealed that he’s “not been invited” to reprise his role of Morpheus for the reboot, adding: “I wish them well. I hope it’s great.”
