There are many ways one could describe “The Matrix” trilogy, action-packed, revolutionary, cyberpunk, confusing. But a “love story?” Well, things may change when “The Matrix 4” arrives in theaters, because Keanu Reeves described the “beautiful” script as being an inspiring love story.

We don’t know a lot about “The Matrix 4,” with plot details closely guarded. But speaking to BBC’s The One Show while promoting “Bill & Ted Face the Music,” the “John Wick” actor gave an update of the latest installment of the ’90s sci-fi franchise. “We’re out here trying to make some magic,” Reeves said. “We have a wonderful director, Lana Wachowski, and she has written a beautiful script that is a love story, it’s inspiring.”
“It’s another version of a kind of, call to wake up,” the actor continued. “It entertains… It has some great action. All will be revealed.” When asked if the film will be a prequel or go to the past, Keanu Reeves instantly shuts down any notions of revising past events. “No, no, no, no, no. There’ll be be no going back into the past,” Reeves confirmed, clearing rumors that Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is starring as a younger version of Morpheus.
We also got another tease courtesy of castmember Neil Patrick Harris, who told SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show that Wachowski may have changed the franchise’s visual style. “I think [Lana] has a great inclusive energy and her style has shifted visually from what she had done to what she is currently doing,” the actor said.
