The Matrix 4 is officially happening with Keanu Reeves and Carrie Anne-Moss set to return, but it seems Warner Bros. may not be bringing back Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus for the fourth film in the franchise.
Warner Bros. has announced that The Matrix 4 is moving forward with Keanu Reeves and Carrie Anne-Moss are set to reprise their roles as Neo and Trinity respectively, but whether or not Laurence Fishburne will return as Morpheus is still unknown as the actor was noticeably left out of the studio’s announcement. And now we might know why.
