This is consistent with the ending of the third movie. Also the likely-reappearance of Neo is also mentioned in the ending as well.

Remember that the ending of the third movie, the Matrix still exists. The machines are still dependent on the Matrix existing. There is only a truce, and that the truce means that humans (and programs?) will be given a choice as to whether they want to live in the Matrix or not. But the machines don't actually believe in choice, and likely believe that all choices can be manipulated etc. But there must always exist a One in every iteration of the matrix to give the people who want out of the Matrix the illusion of choice.

Morpheus lives in Zion now, so they would have to make a new Morpheus in the new Matrix. Agent Smith was deleted as all fuck, that was the whole point of Neo being hooked directly to The Source in the final battle, and letting Smith infect him so that The Source could delete him, so a new Agent program would be in his place. Nothing we've seen is actually inconsistent with the lore previously established in the films.

I expect the sociological message of the movie to revolve a lot around the idea that our choices are all being manipulated by machine-learning algorithms and aren't real choices, and then the ultimate theme likely revolves around a love story about how Neo+Trinity=The One, two halves of a whole, destiny intertwined, etc. There's a scene in one of the two trailers where there's two pods arranged facing each other in a large open space in a way that makes an outline of a heart and there's probably going to be a corny ending where they create a new Matrix based on love.

I also think the Nu-Morpheus is a plant, and going to turn out to be a villain, which is why they're not using Lawrence Fishburn and never had any intention of casting him. The machines likely want to use Neo to keep perpetuating the cycle of the Matrix, only allowing a small subset of the humans the choice to free themselves, and Nu/Fake-Morpheus is ultimately an agent of control, allowing the cycle to go on in a more controlled manner than it did previously. And by Fake-Morpheus freeing Neo, but not Trinity, the machines are able to maintain this control, because in each of the previous movies, Trinity was the pivotal reason that Neo was able to break the cycle at each important decision-point. So without Trinity being freed, Neo is just acting as a puppet over and over in each new cycle and, not really The One, again feeding into the idea that it takes Neo+Trinity in order for The One to break the cycle like they did in the 6th Matrix.

I don't think Keanu would have agreed to this if the script wasn't good.

The thing that makes me most excited for this movie is the fact that the third Bill and Ted movie was so good, when it should have been fucking terrible.
