As principal photography continues for The Matrix 4 in San Francisco, newly leaked set video shows original trilogy characters Neo and Trinity riding through the city streets.During an atmospheric night shoot, returning actors Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss cruise together on a motorcycle through streets shrouded in heavy fog. Reeves hangs on to Moss while they lean into a turn.
Reeves sports longer hair and a full beard, as seen in previous set video, while Moss appears largely as she did during the original sci-fi/action trilogy. Given the untimely ends both characters met in 2003's The Matrix Revolutions, it is unclear how both of them will return for the sequel. With the last film ending with an apparent reboot of the Matrix, the two could potentially be rebooted incarnations of their previous characters in a world largely conquered by sentient machines.
The Matrix 4 started filming on location in San Francisco earlier this month. The upcoming sequel has additional filming planned in Chicago and Germany, scheduled to take place later this year.
Directed by Lana Wachowski, The Matrix 4 stars Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris, Jessica Henwick and Jonathan Groff. The film arrives May 21, 2021.
