Neil Patrick Harris and Keanu Reeves are returning back for The Matrix 4.
Neil Patrick Harris and Keanu Reeves are ready for The Matrix 4. But, will he be playing a villain? The original Matrix movie of the Wachowskis is the groundbreaking venture of 1999. This has set a new tone for sci-fi action in cinema. Though the pair of sequels in 2003 have failed to ignite the same reaction. The Matrix has gained a strong cultural identity and also it has garnered a loyal following in the last 20 years. Warner Bros. Have now come with the announcement of The Matrix 4 for 2021.
The movie would be directed by Lana Wachowski. Much of the plot of The Matrix is still unknown. There is a sense of mystery over the cast in the movie as well. Though Keanu Reeves will be appearing in the movie, probably to reprise his role as Neo. He would be joined by Matrix alum, Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity. There are a few rumored returnees and they are Jada Pinkett Smith as Niobe and Lambert Wilson as Theerovingian. There is hope to select new talents as well. Yahya Abdul Mateen, Jessica Henwick, and Neil Patrick Harris are few names that are joining Neo for his another adventure. Though the roles are undisclosed.
Speculations About Actors Playing Characters
There are rumors about these actors playing the characters in The Matrix 4. Abdul Mateen is linked to Olah Morpheus. Neil Patrick Harris will possibly be playing the villain in The Matrix 4 is confirmed to bring Agent Smith back. Though the appearance could have been a cameo or a supporting figure.
Neil Patrick Harris undoubtedly fits the bag. He is a shade with qualities. This has been displayed in the performance of Harris as Count Olaf in A Series of Unfortunate Events. The villain of this kind would be fitting well in The Matrix where they will be more of a human than a machine.
The Matrix is a combination of digital and real worlds. It shows the struggle of man vs machines. There are more chances of a human villain in The Matrix 4.
If The Matrix 4’s major enemy would be a human, they would be overseeing some kind of pro-Matrix cult that supports being “plugged-in” rather than existing in the real world. Neil Patrick Harris is perfect for the attitude of a villain. It’s also interesting that The Matrix 4 has cast Jonathan Groff who, like Harris, has a piece of knowledge in musical theatre.
If the decided cult faction emerges in Zion, it would necessarily be enough reason to give rise to Neo back from the dead.
