Nevertheless, Weaving's feelings on the script weren't the main reason he didn't retake his role as Agent Smith. The real, undramatic reason is that it simply came down to a scheduling conflict, seeing as Weaving was acting in another project when most of the filming for "Resurrections" took place.
Therefore, Morpheus' death could not be ignored in The Matrix Resurrections. As for Agent Smith, Hugo Weaving could not return for The Matrix Resurrections due to scheduling conflicts.
As a result of his contact with Neo from the first film, Smith is "unplugged" in the second film, no longer an Agent of the system but a "free man". This is signified by the lack of an earpiece, which he sends to Neo in an envelope as a message early in the film.
Summary. Hugo Weaving left the Transformers franchise after voicing Megatron in the first three movies, calling the role "meaningless" and criticizing the lack of artistic fulfillment.
The actor said in 2020 that he had “not been invited” to reprise his role (via New York Magazine). The Matrix: Resurrection's story ultimately made sense of the surprising decision to recast Morpheus, but that doesn't necessarily mean leaving out Fishburne was the right move for the film.
Matrix: Resurrections ran out of hype as it was 20 years too late, other movies have had more elaborate effects and direction, effectively nothing new coming out.
This Morpheus (played by Abdul Mateen II) is actually a program that Thomas/Neo created out of his subconscious for his popular video game, both new and old; new in that he isn't a human being but a manmade code, and old in that he's a curious amalgamation of the real Morpheus (Fishburne) and Smith (Weaving).
Because he's a gladiator with millions of years of experience under his belt. Megatron is a military leader, a fascist almost. His entire motto is based on his arms and military strength.
Chris Hemsworth will replace Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime in Transformers One, which has caused controversy. Transformers One features a star-studded cast including Brian Tyree Henry, Keegan-Michael Key, Scarlett Johansson, Jon Hamm, and Laurence Fishburne.
The Last Knight finally gave him something resembling his old "bucket head" design and the familiar fusion cannon on his right arm. It also gave him a Cybertronian jet mode in homage to the series' first live-action film, though that wasn't always the plan.
Scaling Neo's power is easier when comparing Keanu Reeves' character to Agent Smith. Before fully awakening his potential, Neo is soundly beaten by the Agent, but overtakes the enemy program after evolving into The One.
Realising what he has to do, Neo chooses to be assimilated by Smith – allowing Neo (and Deus Ex Machina) to destroy him from the inside, exploding all the Smiths as they glow with pure white Source light.
The studio has announced plans to continue the franchise, with a fifth Matrix movie now in development. It will be the first installment in the cyber-action film series without either Lana or Lily Wachowski as directors.
Agent Smith had grown to hate the Matrix, something that by itself was going against the program's nature, and he wanted out no matter what. To Smith, humans were a virus, something disgusting, and the Matrix was a prison from which Smith had to escape.
Eventually, after witnessing Bumblebee's willingness to sacrifice himself in order to stop the machinations of Shockwave, Megatron does the unthinkable and joins the Autobot cause.
After Megatron struck the final blow, Optimus Prime's fate was confirmed by the Fallen, who sensed his demise and declared “The Last Prime is dead.” Optimus Prime's body was transferred first to the Autobot's base at Diego Garcia atoll and then to Egypt, where Sam used The Matrix of Leadership to resurrect him.
Reborn as Orion Pax, he embraced his new identity, only to reclaim his role as Optimus Prime to confront the Decepticons led by his former friend, Megatron, igniting the Great War on Cybertron.
Showrunner F.J. Desanto claims in Movieweb's recent interview with Mike Avila that we would have seen Shockwave survive his own nuclear winter had Legacy been picked up by Netflix. He also stated that it is a written rule in the archives of Hasbro that Shockwave is the only Decepticon that Megatron fears.
In Transformers Prime, Megatron has somewhat died at least twice. First in the pilot miniseries and again by bumblebee. He has only survived due to the shard of dark energon in his chest.
When Morpheus presented Neo the choice between two pills, he explained how the red pill will start Neo's journey to discover the reality behind the Matrix and how the blue pill will just return Neo to his normal life.
The actual human being known as Morpheus, played by Laurence Fishburne, doesn't return for The Matrix Resurrections because he's passed away in the 60 years since the events of The Matrix Revolutions. Before his death though, Morpheus was elected head of the council governing Zion.
Sensing the power in Neo and Trinity's connection, he persuaded his machine bosses to let him take their bodies. The Analyst then resurrected them using resurrection pods created by Sati's parents and plugged Neo and Trinity back into the Matrix, using them as a source code to build a new iteration.
