Hopefully, Matrix Resurrections will have the answer, but we may already know it thanks to a little-remembered Matrix video game that did the unthinkable back in it killed Morpheus. In , a few years after the film trilogy ended with Matrix Revolutions , Warner Interactive released The Matrix Online , a massive multiplayer online role playing game that picked up where the movies left off.
Long story short: just a few months after Matrix Online was released, the game killed Morpheus in a major event that almost no one remembers anymore. Good question! The truth is, we have no idea. Beyond that, Abdul-Mateen is pretty tight-lipped about the latest Matrix installment and his character's importance to its plot.
His one concession: "This is definitely a different iteration of the character. That's not to say that Abdul-Mateen isn't channeling some of the flair that Fishburne brought to the part.
Through his extensive coaching with the stunt team, he was able to pull off his "most physically demanding role" to date by replicating some classic Morpheus martial-arts moves. In one sequence, he spars with Neo in a training session, just as Fishburne and Reeves did in the first film.
There's a lot in our story that's about growth, defining your own path. Morpheus isn't exempt from that. Having two actors playing the same character isn't unprecedented in the Matrix Cinematic Universe. Gloria Foster was introduced as the Oracle — a program within the Matrix that can predict the future — in the first movie, before returning for 's Reloaded sequel.
But Mary Alice took over for her in Revolutions after Foster passed away from diabetes in between films. The switch was finessed into the script: The Oracle explained how her previous body had been destroyed by a villainous program.
Is this the case for the new Morpheus? Abdul-Mateen isn't telling. The Matrix is where anything is possible. Despite the high concepts and skiffy jargon, Abdul-Mateen considers Resurrections to be the most grounded of all his sci-fi roles. Between new characters, including ones played by Jessica Henwick, Neil Patrick Harris , Priyanka Chopra , and Jonathan Groff , as well as the return of Jada Pinkett Smith 's Niobe, this ensemble has a lot to say about the world we're living in now.
