This was probably not the way that Warner Bros. wanted the name of the new Matrix film to be confirmed. A social media post from a makeup artist on the Lana Wachowski directed sequel has seemingly confirmed it will be called The Matrix: Resurrections.
The revelation comes from the image of a gift given to members of the crew as the film wrapped production. That wrap actually took place in July of 2020 with post-production continuing on the film throughout the global pandemic.
Titles of The #Matrix4 has leaked online by the makeup artist who worked with the cast. The new sequel will bring back at least two dead characters to the Matrix.

With rumours that the new film will resurrect two characters from the past it certainly makes sense. Subtitling the film as Resurrections also follows the pattern set by earlier films Reloaded and Revolutions.
The film will be written and directed Lana Wachowski who returns to the franchise alongside stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jonathan Groff and Neil Patrick Harris also set to star.
The Matrix 4 is scheduled for release April 1st 2022.
