Neil Patrick Harris Matrix 4 Character May Be Revealed in the Resurrections Trailer

Most science-fiction projects feature a rich history that’s filled with allusions and allegories to religion and philosophy. This practice helps add more weight to the narrative and allows audiences to explore new characters through a lens that is easy to understand. This is best explained through a franchise like The Matrix. While the series has made its mark with its exciting action and mythic story, it’s also introduced characters that serve as archetypes for deities or beings of a higher power. A great example of this is the Architect, a man introduced in The Matrix Reloaded who may return with a new face in The Matrix Resurrections.

The Architect is a machine created by the machines to help better understand the human condition. He also helped craft the original Matrix and the multiple iterations that came after that. However, his parallels to God are derived from more than just his position and abilities within the simulation. In Freemasonry, God is described as “The Great Architect,” and even appears similar to the character with white hair and a beard seen in the film. He also offers Neo a choice, in a manner fitting of a God, that involves saving one person or his entire species.

The Matrix Resurrections trailer keeps most of its big secrets under wraps but still offers fans some glimpses of new content indicative of changes to the status quo. One possibility revolves around Neo’s psychiatrist, played by Neil Patrick Harris. In the trailer, Neo (Keanu Reeves) appears to be suffering from amnesia or disassociation as he catches glimpses of his past life. To try and keep himself grounded, he speaks to his psychiatrist, who consoles his mind by telling him he isn’t crazy.

While he appears to be another program installed into the Matrix, some factors make him seem like he may be a new version of the Architect. For instance, the character has overseen multiple iterations of the simulation as he tries to figure out the best way to corral humanity without leading to destruction. As a result, he may have given himself different appearances in that time, similar to the Oracle. The character is also eerily similar in the profession to the famous psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud. Ironically, Freud also helped inspire the look of the Architect in The Matrix Reloaded. Should he be speaking to Neo in a different guise, he could be a part of an even bigger plot by the machines to fully take over the human race.

With each new iteration of the Matrix, the Architect tries to right the wrongs born from the previous. With Neo acting as a totem for humanity, the Architect could be using their therapy sessions to feed new information to him. This not only rewrites what he knew but also makes him subservient to the new program. And to make the connection even more clear, a black cat is seen on the therapist’s desk. In the first film, the black cat was used to signifying deja vu, or a glitch in the Matrix. While the animal isn’t the only thing that represents a glitch, it’s the most notable and allows audiences to deduce that changes are happening in the character’s mind.

The Matrix Resurrections has created more questions in a universe that was largely completed years ago. However, with the possibility that some classic characters could be returning with new faces, like the Architect, it could mean more changes to the status quo. For now, Neil Patrick Harris’ character is still unknown, but based on the nature of his profession and connection to Neo, his presence could be crucial to humanity’s survival.
