Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Morpheus
Watchmenstar Yahya Abdul - Mateen II joined the cast ofThe Matrix Resurrectionsin October 2019 in what was call an obscure jumper cable character after Lana Wachowski spent several days meeting with potential actors .

Jessica Henwick
Iron Fist ’s Jessica Henwick was the third in a ready - fire round of casting announcements in October 2019 , joiningThe Matrix Resurrectionsin another unnamed role . Given her history play Colleen Wing for Netflix ’s MCU arm , logic would point towards her play an action - oriented character .
The casting announcement suggest Henwick ’s would be a lead purpose , with some buzz of her being a " Neo - like part " , so it may be that she and Yahya Abdul - Mateen II leadThe Matrix 4initially in the absence seizure ofKeanu Reeves ' Neoand Carrie - Anne Moss ' Trinity , who are presumptively still drained .
