Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are happy to return on the big-screen reprising their roles as Neo

 

and Trinity of The Matrix saga. Check their statements below:

MOSS: “I never thought that it would happen. It was never on my radar at all, […] When it was brought to me in the way that it was brought to me, with incredible depth and all of the integrity and artistry that you could imagine, I was like, ‘This is a gift.’ It was just very exciting.”

REEVES: “Lana Wachowski wrote a beautiful script and a wonderful story that resonated with me, […] 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.”

According to The Cinema Spot, Riverdale actress Vanessa Morgan is a heavy favorite to play new character “Ryan Wilder” on The CW’s Batwoman. Showrunner Caroline Dries confirmed rumors of a new character at the ATX Television Festival, saying the following:

I’m inventing a whole new character. In her past, she was inspired by Batwoman. She is going to take on the mantle and is completely maybe not be the right person at the time to be doing it. That’s what makes it fun.

This new character is described the opposite of Kate Kane, with the following leaked in casting sheets:

With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today, reformed and sober, Ryan lives in her van with her plant. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical All-American hero.
