The actor appeared on The One Show via a live link on Wednesday (16 September) where he let slip some details about his return as Neo.
Reeves started filming on the sequel earlier this year with returning star Carrie Ann Moss and new additions Neil Patrick Harris and Watchmen actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
However, production was shut down in March following the spread of Covid-19. Filming recently got back on track in Berlin, with Reeves stating: “We’re out here trying to make some magic."
When asked about what fans can expect from the Lana Wachowski film, the actor described it as an "inspiring love story" – not what you'd expect from such a high concept film series.
“We have a wonderful director, Lana Wachowski, and she has written a beautiful script that is a love story, it’s inspiring,” Reeves said.
“It’s another version, a call to wake up and it has some great action. All will be revealed.”
He also shut down suggestion that the film would be a prequel, saying: “No, no. No going in the past.”
This is the first time Reeves played Neo since The Matrix Revolutions in 2003.
The film is expected to be released in 2021 despite delays due to coronavirus.
Reeves can currently be seen Bill & Ted Face the Music, which is in select cinemas now.
