It's kind of crazy that The Matrix has all these canon events in no-longer playable MMOs and PS2 games, like.

Morpheus is the best character in the franchise, surely they're planning to bring him back. Find a way, it's a fucking computer fantasy.
Who else are they bringing back that was dead outside Neo, who you could argue was ambiguous?
She came back in The Matrix Online, kind of, and it establishes she'd kind of like Neo and hardcoded into The Matrix:
if they're still following extended universe canon then he died after the war, maybe they didn't talk to him cuz morpheus is just dead in it and they had no plans to bring the character back.
Morpheus died in The Matrix Online and Trinity kinda came back. Who knows if they're following the old canon to a T or if Lana Wachowski just come up with her own reasons to come to a similar result.
Aw man when he says
It's a direct callback to earlier in the interview where he says he was so mad at being passed over for a role and he channeled it into playwrighting

Lawrence Fishburne was iconic in that role and it sucks that he won't come back because he was such a cool character, but I can sorta understand why you might leave him out.
Reminder: By the end of Matrix Reloaded, it is revealed that Morpheus is an unwitting tool of the machines. The prophecy was never real, it was invented as a just another layer of control to be applied to the small percentage of humans who reject the Matrix, and Morpheus fell for it hook, line and sinker. Morpheus is integral to the original trilogy of movies, but in the lore he isn't particularly special at all in the grand scheme of things. He was a tool used by the machines to awaken the One, and he has minimal significance beyond that.
Knowing the above, it's definitely possible that in whatever story they have come up with for the sequel it would feel kind of contrived to just insert Morpheus into it.

Yeah, it seems unlikely they will since there is no way to access it at this point outside watching YouTube videos lol, but as of now, they haven't contradicted that it is. We'll probably know for sure when we get closer to this movie.
I don't think anyone is saying that. The Cannon Group has been defunct since 1994, before the first film. But the MMO has always said to be canon, like all The Matrix supplement material, so as of none that's all we have to go on until they recton it. We can only speculate until something else is officially said.
Yeah, thought the guy who played Black Manta and was in Watchmen HBO was gonna be Morpheus. Makes me feel better, I dig him.
Yeah lol. Not expecting them to stick to it that much, but maybe Morpheus dying after the war for whatever reason is something they always planned.
Morpheus, Trinity, Neo and all the other "pod" people are made by machines so they can be made again even if one of their incarnations dies.
Hell, in the OG trilogy Neo is revealed to be like the sixth (or something) version of himself.
I was hoping that Fishburne would return as Morpheus (or another incarnation of Morpheus) since he is so cool, especially since he is in the John Wick flicks with Keanu.

unfortunate that they couldn't have found a way to bring him back. as has been said multiple times, he and Hugo are a large part of the reason the movies work at all.
I could have sworn the first press release said all major characters were back. Damn, that blows. I expected a smaller role for sure but not returning at all kinda sucks.
Neo was revealed to be the sixth version of 'the one', not necessarily the sixth Neo\Thomas Anderson as I understood it. Aka he's just the current person who achieve his level of power/enlightenment within the matrix.
It would be interesting to see them actually follow through and keep Matrix Online as canon
This sounds incredibly shoddy teen matrix fanfic. The fuck I just read?
Trinity is giving him a ride on a motorcycle, which seems unnecessary given his abilities.
This sucks but the whole cast hasn't been announced yet nor have they finished filming. Though his quote in that interview is damning. On the positive side, Lana is giving roles to at least four actors from Sense8. One being Toby Onwumere, who was the second actor for Capheus.
I had always heard he was the Wachowskis' favorite on-set because he was the only one who really grasped the philosophy "homework" the actors were assigned for the role.
I mean even with Morpheus, it would still be best to cancel this and then go back in time and erase the other sequels as well.
Why wouldn't they even ask him? Morpheus, unlike Neo and Trinity (who are returning), actually makes sense!
This 4th movie is going to totally suck isn't it.
Oh well, Reloaded/Revolutions weren't great either. To the credit of the Wachowskis the first Matrix is still in my view the best Hollywood "big spectacle" film of the last 20+ years (yes, sit your ass down Marvel and Star Wars).
lol....so you add Priyanka Chopra and subtract Morpheus. This sounds like a disaster, less than 0 interest in this movie.
I can't wait for a future interview where some reporter explains to him that his character was killed in a MMORPG. Icing on the cake would be watching him react to that youtube clip someone posted earlier.
