![]() ![]() I don’t think it was like I was avoiding something so much as I was … I don’t think people are hiring me for that. I don’t think that people wanted me for that. You know, neither in this series nor in your career in general, have you ever been the arm candy or pretty sidekick. And I started to feel her more, feel who Trinity is now, and to bring that history of 20 years ago into the present. And then with the characters, at wardrobe, doing those fittings, they have each evolution of the wardrobe. They want you to be able to do all the different action pieces that Lana has designed. It’s really fun to be surrounded by all these artists that are there teaching you stuff and they want you to be great. You have to do more recovery as you get older, it takes longer to get in shape and all those different things, but it was really fun. ![]() And from that moment, I was right back there. I stepped foot on the training center on day one of training, and I saw Keanu, and we started. How did you get back into the Trinity headspace? Both physically and mentally. I think that was his personal journey, and his interest and his personality, and how he wanted to understand the concepts. And to be honest, I didn’t get them for the first ones either. So did you get any assigned reading for this one? I know that you and other cast members were given rather esoteric reading material before the other movies to get into that headspace. But if you trust that, you trust your journey and that you might not necessarily know why something’s happening, but when you look back, you’ll see that it was how it should have been. You should grieve it, you should have all your feelings about things because if you don’t it’ll come up in some other way. ![]() And you feel devastated, and you’re grieving it. (Editor’s note: The TV series Moss is likely referring to was the 1994-1999 series “Viper.” This is not to be confused with the 1993 TV series called “Matrix,” which Moss also appeared in and is, shockingly, unconnected to the more famous “real” Matrix.)ĭo you think that applies to life in general? That you have to just trust that things will work out? I was rejected from that show, and because of that a whole other door opened for me. But in that particular situation, I have this saying: Rejection is protection. But sometimes the journey’s meant for somebody else. You really have to trust that if your name is on something, it’s there. Like if I didn’t get a part, I … and I talk to other actors, like younger actors, about that. That kind of moment made me really trust my journey and trust any kind of rejection. I wouldn’t have been available because I’d be doing the series. And they explained to me that it was really budget-wise, story-wise, it wasn’t personal, but you can’t take it personally.Īnd if I had been doing that, I wouldn’t have been able to do this. For an actor, it brings up a lot of feelings. And I don’t remember what it’s called right now, but we were going into our third season and they had decided budget-wise that they weren’t going to renew my contract. Because in the first Matrix, I had been in this series. And then she told me that she had written a script and would I want to be part of it? I was like, ‘Yes!’ And you know, timing is everything. We hadn’t talked in a long time, and we just ‘Hi, how are you?’ I was so excited to just speak to her. Lana texted me and said, ‘Hey, can you talk?’ And I called her. So it’s been going on two decades, you’re now a very badass 54, and suddenly, Lana calls you? Here, she talks to Fatherly about never being arm candy, getting into Trinity’s head-space, and why the theme of these films never loses their relevance. It almost feels surreal at times,” says Moss. I feel so blessed that I got picked to do this. I mean, she’s so wonderful of a character. Did she have any qualms, after so many years, many of which she’d spent raising her three kids and tending to her chickens? Moss doesn’t hesitate. So trust us when we tell you that no one - and we repeat no one - as more surprised to hear from Lana Wachowski, one-half of the brain trust (along with her sister Lilly) behind the Matrix films, about pulling on her signature sleek black bodysuit and stepping back into the world of the Redpills after a pause of nearly two decades. Trinity could never have been recast for the new film, Matrix Resurrections because Carrie-Ann Moss is the only person who could have ever played her. But, Trinity is also three people, she’s a badass inside the Matrix, a real person outside the Matrix, and in our world, she’s Carrie-Anne Moss. And in the first three Matrix films - the fourth of which opens this week - Trinity represents the trinity of herself, Morpheus, and Neo ( Keanu Reeves). The name itself, obviously, suggests, the holy trinity of the father, the son, and the holy spirit.
