With the upcoming fourth installment in the Matrix franchise, many cinephiles were wondering if the agents would be making an appearance. While Agent Smith will not be returning to the franchise, another agent is set to return.
Daniel Bernhardt is slated to reprise his role of Agent Johnson in The Matrix 4. The actor and stuntman appeared in The Matrix Reloaded playing the leader of the newly upgraded agents and was involved in a brief battle with Neo near the beginning of the film.
Agent Johnson was later seen in pursuit of Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), and The Keymaker (Randall Duk Kim) on the freeway and engaged one of the most memorable highway action set pieces of that year.
. In addition to Daniel Bernhardt, the sequel will also feature the return of Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Jada Pinkett Smith, as well as franchise newcomers Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Jonathan Groff, Priyanka Chopra, and Neil Patrick Harris.
