I suspect that The Matrix Resurrections will mess with everyone's minds as much as the first three films, Animatrix and two video games did. The choice of using Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit was a perfect song for the trailer. The lyrics synched brilliantly with the images, especially the parts when Thomas Anderson took the blue pill, when he pours them down the sink, Priyanka Chopra had the Alice in Wonderland book and when Jessica Henwick revealed her White Rabbit tattoo. Whilst a lot of the trailer seems to take place in the Matrix, we do still get some shots of the real world. So maybe we might see Zion too. Yahya Abdul Mateen II does look like he could be some version of Morpheus, but there are shots were it looks like he discovers he's living in Matrix before he offers Thomas a red pill. There are a lot of visual echoes of the original trilogy in the trailer and the teaser clips, like the dojo scene, the helicopter by the skyscraper scene, the looking up in the elevator scene, light in the doorway scene, the watery mirror scene, the gun in the sprinkler scene, the hotel hallway scene etc. Jada Pinkett-Smith is in the cast list, so maybe Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving might be in it too. I guess they'll release another trailer in November, which will hopefully give us just a little bit more information on the story of the film.
This IGN video gives a great breakdown of what the plot could be.
