Neo discovers he still knows kung fu in latest Matrix Resurrections trailer

Official trailer #2 for The Matrix Resurrections.

Not even a full week has gone by since we got an exciting new trailer for The Matrix Resurrections, but with the film's premiere just two weeks away, Warner Bros. is clearly intent on amping up the excitement. The company released another trailer on Monday, and while new footage is in short supply, everything we've seen thus far is finally put into useful context.

The first trailer was released in September and was set to Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" to drive home the red pill/blue pill theme. We saw Neo in therapy with a smarmy psychiatrist played by Neil Patrick Harris, and it soon became clear that we were in a brave new Matrix-constructed world. People take two blue pills daily, and everyone is glued to their iPhones and tablets-whatever it takes to keep the masses sedated.

Last week's trailer was aptly titled "Deja Vu" since it riffed on that key moment from the first Matrix film when Neo saw the same black cat walk past a doorway in the Lafayette Hotel. We learned that the entire preceding "reality"-i.e., the events of the original trilogy-had been changed, but not many other details were revealed.
