Talking about why he returned for Matrix 4, Reeves recently said, "Lana Wachowski wrote a beautiful script and a wonderful story that resonated with me."
He added, "That's the only reason to do it. To work with her again is just amazing...It's been really special, and the story has, I think, some meaningful things to say, and that we can take some nourishment from."
