The official title for The Matrix 4 has reportedly been revealed. The Wachowski Sisters took the world by storm at the end of the '90s when they released The Matrix starring Keanu Reeves. The film has become one of the most well-regarded sci-fi blockbusters ever made, resulting in two sequels released in 2003. While The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions weren't able to match the success of the original, the final film in the trilogy effectively ended the story of Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity. Because of the way The Matrix Revolutions ended, fans were shocked to hear that The Matrix 4 was in development.

Lana Wachowski is returning to helm the fourth film in the Matrix trilogy, which brings back Reeves as Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity. While excited for the sequel, fans were understandably puzzled when it was announced that Reeves and Moss were returning since their characters both died in The Matrix Revolutions. Since there isn't a lot known about the story of The Matrix 4, it's hard to generate concrete theories on how the Neo and Trinity are returning, but Reeves did previously reveal that the film will take place after The Matrix Revolutions, confirming that they won't return due to a prequel setting.

Now, according to Yahoo Finance, the title of The Matrix 4 is said to be Matrix Resurrections. The title was recently leaked after a makeup artist for the film, Shunika Terry, shared an image of a wrap gift she received for working on the film.

While Reeves and Moss' return was a huge announcement for the film, there are some key players missing in the sequel. Laurence Fishburne's Morpheus was obviously a main character in the first three Matrix films, but the actor revealed in August that he was never asked to return for The Matrix 4. The story of Agent Smith, the antagonist of the original Matrix trilogy, also appears to be officially concluded, with Hugo Weaving not expected to return for the sequel. While fans might miss seeing these two characters up on the big screen, there have been plenty of other exciting casting announcements, with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman), Neil Patrick Harris, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas set to appear in The Matrix 4.

While Matrix Resurrections has not been confirmed to be the title of The Matrix 4 just yet, the title would make sense for obvious reasons. Wachowski will have to effectively explain Neo and Trinity's return while also meeting the high expectations fans have regarding spectacular special effects. The logo for The Matrix 4 was revealed last month, and fans have already gotten a few leaked images from the set of the film. With the movie expected to hit theaters and HBO Max in December, fans should find out relatively soon what the official title for The Matrix 4 will be.
