Warner Bros. and Lana Wachowski have uploaded a new Matrix Resurrections trailer that might require you to procure a change of pants. In the explosive new footage, we find the line between Neo’s past and present blurred, with memories of his old life appearing as instances of déjà vu. The new Matrix Resurrections trailer also teases some new powers for Neo, such as his ability to weaponize reality itself to create devastating attacks. The trailer also focuses on the star-crossed romance between Neo and Trinity, which is something that Matrix fan-fic writers have been lusting after for quite some time.

The new film reunites original stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in the iconic roles they made famous, Neo and Trinity.

The film also stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman) Jessica Henwick (Iron Fist, Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens), Jonathan Groff (Hamilton, Mindhunter), Neil Patrick Harris (Gone Girl), Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantico), Christina Ricci (Escaping the Madhouse: The Nellie Bly Story, The Lizzie Borden Chronicles), Telma Hopkins (Dead to Me), Eréndira Ibarra (Sense8, Ingobernable), Toby Onwumere (Empire), Max Riemelt (Sense8), Brian J. Smith (Sense8, Treadstone), and Jada Pinkett Smith (Angel Has Fallen, Gotham).
