Marvel’s Iron Fist star Jessica Henwick is reportedly in discussions to take an undisclosed lead role in The Matrix 4.
According to Deadline, the actress caught the attention of casting directors after giving a strong performance during the audition process, though at this stage it is unconfirmed which character Henwick would be playing in the film.
The outlet, however, indicates that Matrix 4 director and co-scribe Lana Wachowski has been on the lookout for a “female-like Neo character” to take on a major role at the “forefront of the new film” alongside Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss, who are reprising their iconic roles as Neo and Trinity, respectively.
