The Matrix Resurrections (2021) Trivia Questions & Answers
Here are the correct answers to the quiz questions, with detailed explanations that decode the layers of memory, identity, and control in The Matrix Resurrections (2021):
1) Who reprises the role of Neo in The Matrix Resurrections (2021)?
Correct Answer: Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves returns as Neo, blending his iconic “Chosen One” presence with a more introspective and vulnerable portrayal. This version of Neo is trapped once again in a simulated world, unaware of his past, until he begins to remember the truth.
2) What is Neo’s name inside the Matrix simulation?
Correct Answer: Thomas Anderson
As in the original trilogy, Neo’s given name inside the Matrix is Thomas Anderson. In Resurrections, he’s recast as a successful video game designer who has created a game series called The Matrix — a clever metafictional twist on the franchise’s legacy.
3) Which actor plays the new version of Morpheus?
Correct Answer: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II takes on the role of a new iteration of Morpheus — a program created by Neo himself as a synthesis of the original Morpheus and Agent Smith. This version is more playful and symbolic, designed to awaken Neo and guide him once again.
4) What role does Bugs play in the film?
Correct Answer: She helps free Neo from the Matrix
Bugs, played by Jessica Henwick, is a resistance fighter who believes in Neo and actively works to free him from his simulated life. Her character is energetic, clever, and instrumental in bridging the gap between the old Matrix and the new.
5) What is the name of the program played by Neil Patrick Harris?
Correct Answer: The Analyst
Neil Patrick Harris portrays the Analyst, the new architect of the Matrix. Unlike the original Architect, who was cold and logical, the Analyst manipulates emotion and trauma to maintain control over humanity — especially Neo and Trinity.
6) Who is revealed to be the true power source that stabilizes the new Matrix?
Correct Answer: Neo and Trinity together
The Analyst reveals that Neo and Trinity — when kept close but apart — create a powerful energy source that fuels the current version of the Matrix. Their bond, and their refusal to be controlled, becomes the emotional core and eventual undoing of the system.
7) What new ability does Trinity gain by the end of the film?
Correct Answer: She can fly
In a symbolic reversal of roles, Trinity gains the power of flight by the end of the film. When she and Neo leap from a rooftop, it’s Trinity who soars, highlighting the shared nature of their power and the film’s themes of duality and equality.
8) Which character is shown to have aged significantly since the previous films?
Correct Answer: Niobe
Jada Pinkett Smith returns as Niobe, now much older and a leader in Io — the new human city. Her aged appearance and more cautious philosophy reflect the time that has passed and the consequences of choosing safety over revolution.
9) Where does much of the resistance now reside instead of Zion?
Correct Answer: Io
Zion no longer exists in its former state. The new human settlement is called Io, a city of cooperation between humans and sympathetic machines. It represents evolution — not just of technology, but of ideology and coexistence.
10) How does Neo escape from the Matrix in this film?
Correct Answer: By taking the red pill again
In a nod to the original trilogy, Neo must once again choose to “wake up” by taking the red pill. This act triggers his reawakening and begins his journey back into the real world, guided by Bugs and the new crew of the Mnemosyne.
