The Matrix Resurrections premiere saw star power galore as franchise leads Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss walked the green carpet alongside plenty of futuristic fashion choices from Hollywood’s finest.
The event, at Castro Theatre in San Francisco, California, on Saturday reflected the location of Keanu’s iconic Neo character, who starts the new film living a seemingly ordinary life under his original identity of Thomas A. Anderson in San Francisco.
Keanu, 57, looked sharp in a dark suit, white shirt and a striped red, blue and white tie, while co-star Carrie-Anne, 54, who plays Trinity, pushed the boat out in plunging black gown with sheer floor-length cape and silver embellishments dripping down to the hem.
Franchise creator – and the film’s writer and director – Lana Wachowski also walked the carpet in an eye-catching ensemble, sporting a black mini-dress with latex bust and her trademark multi-coloured neon hair.
The series consists of four feature films, starting with The Matrix (1999) and continuing with back-to-back sequels, The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003), all of which Lana helmed with sister Lily Wachowski, who opted not to return for The Matrix Resurrections.
Star Jada Pinkett Smith, who features as Niobe in the films, opted for a stunning red gown with a dramatic train, which she paired with red tights and red stilettos.
The 50-year-old also sported an intricate silver earpiece.
She posed alongside son Jaden Smith, 23, who she brought as her plus one and posed in both a puffer jacket and overcoat over his black suit ensemble, which he paired with fresh white trainers.
The franchise has also welcomed a number of new stars into the family, including Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who replaces Laurence Fishburne as a new version of Morpheus and wore a leather trench coat and black boots.
Priyanka Chopra also joins as Sati, and rocked up in shimmery style in a silver fishtail gown with a fanned embellishment of red across one shoulder, in a nod to her character.
The star recently shared her enthusiasm for being cast in the movie, writing on Instagram: ‘They had me at “Neo and Trinity are back”! The Matrix trilogy defined my generation of cinema. It was the gold standard… something we all role played and referenced all our lives. So, here I am… a small, excited little fish in the huge cinematic pond that is THE Matrix!’
She added, ‘Needless to say, I am honoured and thrilled to be a part of this legacy and to have had the experience of working under the tutelage of Lana Wachowski and alongside this incredible, iconic cast.’
Other new additions include Mindhunter star Jonathan Groff as Agent Smith, who attended the event in a black suit and mesh shirt with his boyfriend, and Neil Patrick Harris who plays The Analyst and almost stole the show in a green, purple and pink double-breasted suit with matching polo neck and purple nail varnish.
Doctor Who actress Freema Agyeman wore a metallic black draped dress, with her hair in braids and gold eye make-up, while Jessica Henwick also chose black for her gown, which featured a dramatic one-shoulder ruffle.
