If you choose the Blue Pill on, you are treated to narration by Neil Patrick Harris, a newcomer to the franchise who is set to play a therapist (this character was reportedly speaking to Neo in the footage at CinemaCon.) Other scenes include a character getting jacked into the Matrix, glimpses of Trinity and Jessica Henwick’s characters, Neo walking towards the Simulatte coffee shop that was mentioned in the CinemaCon footage that screened recently, and Jonathan Groff’s character having his mouth sealed like Neo’s was in the original. In the first movie, Neo wakes up in a pod and has no hair, and this could be a similar situation. What’s of note in this image is that the eyelashes appear to be mostly gone and could be a look at a character - possibly Neo - waking up from the Matrix. We also see characters being attacked by sentinels.Īnother scene that may be from outside the Matrix is a glimpse of a character’s eye. The Red Pill scenes also include a few glimpses of life outside The Matrix, and we see a flying ship that’s not totally unlike Morpheus’ ship the Nebuchadnezzar from the original films. Sure, anything could happen and Fishburne could still return, but it's an interesting rabbit hole of its own to go down. During one of these attacks, Morpheus is killed by gunshots from a character known as the Assassin, who had bullets with a “kill code.” In Chapter 1.2 of The Matrix Online, Morpheus was demanding the return of Neo’s body from the machines and began orchestrating attacks across The Matrix to accomplish his goal. One of the biggest story moments in the MMO was the death of Morpheus. The Matrix Online was an MMORPG that ran from 2005-2009 and was actually a canon continuation of The Matrix story following The Matrix Revolutions. Laurence Fishburne doesn’t appear to be returning to his role as Morpheus, but The Matrix Online may be the key to not only why this is, but also to why Abdul-Mateen II may be playing a reborn version of the character. This, and many more in both the Red Pill and Blue Pill scenes, may lend weight to the theory that Abdul-Mateen II is actually playing a new version of Morpheus. One includes him not only staring at his reflection in the mirror with a sense of disbelief, but it also shows his fingers appearing to pass through that mirror, which is similar to another scene in the Blue Pill’s collection.Īnother, which is one that probably raises the most questions, sees him being built/rebuilt by some machine. While we do get glimpses of Neo in the Red Pill scenes, Abdul-Mateen II’s character has some of the most intriguing moments. By escaping the cave or taking the red pill, everything becomes clear, and even if others perceive that liberation as suffering, the philosopher knows they are better off outside of the cave.For those who need a refresher, Neo took the Red Pill in the first Matrix after Mopheus says, “You take the Red Pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” Just as many of the prisoners would be scared of the fire and wish to return to the wall, many of those freed in The Matrix opt for the blue pill - stick to what you can already understand, just like the first film's Cypher character. Having only ever experienced the digital Matrix, humans perceive the world as reality, but the philosophically-minded individual can break free by taking the red pill and find the truth. To compare Plato's Allegory of the Cave to The Matrix, the row of chained prisoners are the humans, the ones casting shadows by firelight are the Machines and the shadows on the wall are the Matrix itself.

Having accustomed to his new perception of reality, the prisoner would return to free the others, and they would resist, believing their escaped friend had been harmed, when in fact he was just struggling to see in the darkness after finally beholding the light of the sun. If he resisted that urge, or was forced to leave the cave, he would eventually learn the true nature of his reality. For Plato, only a philosopher can achieve this miraculous escape. If one of the prisoners might escape, he would learn of the fire and fear it, desiring to be returned to his old existence.
