The simplest answer is that Neo didn't die, or if he did die, the Machines revived him shortly thereafter and placed him back in a simulation tank, where he's serving some purpose for them within the rebooted Matrix (hence the blue pills that would hopefully keep him docile for them). He obviously exists in some form in Resurrections, he's obviously going through some of the same questioning of reality that he experienced in the first film with some added bells and whistles, and he obviously still packs some version of the physics-defying power that made him The One in the first place.
The Matrix Online later established that the Machines never gave Neo's body back to his fellow revolutionaries, but they also apparently didn't destroy it either.Īll of this, coupled with Oracle's declaration at the end of Revolutions that we might see Neo again, suggests that Neo never completely died at all. Neo (real name, as the trailer reminds us, Thomas Anderson) seemingly died at the end of the last film in the original trilogy after battling the machines to an uneasy truce and sacrificing himself to defeat the increasingly powerful Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving). It's a broad question, we know, but it's the biggest one hanging over the action as The Matrix Resurrections begins to tease out its plot, particularly given what we know about The Matrix Revolutions and how it ended. So, let's ponder those for a moment, shall we? As we eagerly await the film's arrival this holiday season, these are four of the biggest questions we have after watching The Matrix Resurrections trailer over and over. We've known about the upcoming fourth film in the franchise (and the first in nearly 20 years) for a while, but now that we've actually seen a glimpse of it we have even more questions than we did before the trailer dropped. After months of anticipation, the first trailer for The Matrix Resurrections arrived Thursday morning to break the internet, and with that excitement also came a lot of fresh speculation.
