Keanu Reeves and Carrie Ann Moss are thrilled to return for 'The Matrix Resurrections'

Keanu Reeves said he felt no concern making "The Matrix Resurrections," the newest addition to the franchise after talking with its writer-director.

"I was really excited to work with the director—Lana Wachowski—and writer again, and so that if I had any concerns about that, it was really answered by speaking with her, you know, I was just like, 'OK, yes, let's keep it going. Let's go,'" said Keanu. (Soundbyte)

"The Matrix Resurrections" comes 18 years after the release of the sequels "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions," and 22 years after the original, groundbreaking "The Matrix."

Neo (Keanu Reeves) is living an ordinary life as Thomas A. Anderson. His Therapist (Neil Patrick Harris) prescribes him blue pills, and he doesn't recognize Trinity(Carrie-Anne Moss). However, Morpheus, now played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, offers Neo a red pill and he re-enters the Matrix.

Moss never believed she'd be back in another film within the franchise.

"There wasn't one part of me that thought we would do this again, especially because, you know, I died in the third. So I'd heard rumors about different things. People would come up to me on the street and say, 'Will there be another Matrix?' And I'd say, maybe, but not with me," said Moss. "So I was pretty shocked. And I didn't need any talking into doing this part. I was—soon, as Lana mentioned it to me, I was mentally ready, like, let's go. Let's start." (Soundbyte)
