With the arrival of the first trailer for The Matrix: Resurrections, star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II sent fans into a frenzy with one simple post. Directed by Lana Wachowski, the trailer sees the return of Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss, but also the introduction of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s character.
