Without knowing what capacity (if any) Reeves or the Wachowskis will be involved, the reboot may turn the focus on a young Morpheus. Laurence Fishburne previously portrayed the Zion operative, but his backstory was relatively unexplored in the original trilogy. Following the reports that Jordan was being eyed for the lead role, it was shared that the role WB wanted him for was young Morpheus. A young Morpheus origin movie is just one of many ideas that the studio is reportedly considering, and with the film's development going quiet, it is unclear if Jordan will be involved, if he would play a young Morpheus if he was, or if neither of these aspects to the film will be true.
The Matrix is reportedly getting a reboot

The one point that Penn has tried to make clear above all else is that this movie, if it does happen, will not be a straight retelling of what the Wachowskis already explored. Penn has specifically told eager fans to look towards the anime film The Animatrix and comics set within the universe to gain an understanding of what he is trying to accomplish. His new spin on the franchise may go the anthology route, based on The Animatrix comparisons, in an effort to avoid the reboot, remake, or continuation tags.
That upcoming new Matrix film starring Michael B. Jordan but without the involvement of The Wachowskis "at this time," which is reportedly not a "reboot," could be a movie about a young Morpheus. At least, that's the latest rumor making its way around the entertainment news circuit this week. See:
According to producer James McTeigue, there was "always talk" of a fourth Matrix film within Warner Bros. even without the Wachowskis on board, though prior to 2019 they had not found the right concept.[42] In March 2017, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Warner Bros. was in the early stages of developing a relaunch of the franchise, with Zak Penn in talks to write a treatment, and interest in getting Michael B. Jordan attached to star. The Wachowskis were not involved at that stage, although the studio had hoped for their blessing. The notion of a reboot or remake was denounced by Penn, and ideas for stories set in the already established universe were explored, including, reportedly, a prequel film about a young Morpheus or a sequel film from a descendant of his.[43] In March 2018, Penn said he was working on a revival of the franchise and teased the possibility of an expanded universe.[44] Penn clarified in October 2019 that he had been working on one of two Matrix projects at Warner Bros., and that his work was separate from the planned film.[45] Penn's film did not go ahead in favor of Wachowski's film; Jada Pinkett Smith later reflected that handing the franchise's legacy to other filmmakers would have been a "horrendous mistake".[10]
