The trailer opens with Keanu Reeves’ Neo in a therapist’s office and it seems like an episode of memory relapse as he doesn't remember much from his previous life. After he meets Carrie-Anne Moss’ Trinity, however, there’s a spark. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is seen playing a character that’s similar to Morpheus. Priyanka Chopra Jonas appears in the trailer as a bookstore owner who is aiding Neo in his journey, with a copy of 'Alice in Wonderland'. Jonathan Groff and Neil Patrick Harris are also seen in the trailer.

'Disappointed'

Fans flocked to Twitter expressing dismay about not seeing Laurence Fishburne in the movie. One person tweeted, "Okay I've gone from excited about The Matrix Resurrections to pissed at that movie for not even bothering to ask Laurence Fishburne if he would come back." Another wrote, "Yeah not having Laurence Fishburne is the only thing I don't like about the new upcoming Matrix movie" "Disappointed that they dropped Laurence Fishburne" One tweet read, "I hope this new Matrix trailer deciding to basically look like a revisit of the first film is intentionally misleading because watching a reimagining of the first one and without Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving in it is wildly uninteresting" Another fan wrote, "Where's Laurence Fishburne? Maybe I missed something leading up to the trailer launch I can't possibly imagine a Matrix film without him, Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, or Hugo Weaving."

Asking 'how can one make a Matrix movie without Hugo Weaving', one fan wrote, "How can you make a Matrix sequel without Hugo Weaving?" Another tweeted, "Stoked about the new Matrix movie coming out. Kind of bummed that it probably won't have Agent Smith. I can't get enough of Hugo Weaving's evil monologues" One tweet read, "How come we don’t have either of Laurence Fishburne or Hugo Weaving! #MatrixResurrections"
