New ‘Matrix’ movie may centre around young Morpheus

In The Matrix trilogy, Morpheus was portrayed by Laurence Fishburne

The new The Matrix movie will reportedly centre around young Morpheus after the film’s screenwriter Zak Penn shut down rumours of the movie being made as a reboot.

It might explore “expanded universe concepts” and come in the form of a prequel, reported AceShowbiz .

In The Matrix trilogy, Morpheus was portrayed by Laurence Fishburne.

Should The Matrix spin-off happen, the role of young Morpheus might be played by Michael B Jordan.

However, Penn wrote earlier on his Twitter account that he did “want to see more stories” set in The Matrix universe.
