The Matrix 4: Lambert Wilson may return as The Merovingian

According to The Playlist, Wilson told French outlet Allocine that he is in negotiations to return as The Merovingian , the character of a rogue programmer inside the Matrix.

The character made appearances in the films The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.

The actor, however, said his schedule might play a spoilsport.

The Merovingian is a self-described “trafficker of information” and his wife Persephone (played by Monica Bellucci) operate a smuggling ring, providing a haven for exiled programs in the Matrix.

Lana Wachowski, one half of the Wachowskis who directed all the three films in the sci-fi action franchise with sister Lilly, will write and helm the new project.

Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell have co-written the script with Lana Wachowski, who is also attached to produce with Grant Hill.

Reeves and Moss will be joined by newcomers Yahya Abdul-Mateen, Jessica Henwick, Toby Onwumere and Neil Patrick Harris.

Matrix 4 has a release date of May 21, 2021.
