After 18 long years, Keanu Reeves is set to reprise his role as Leo in the Matrix series' fourth instalment.

San Francisco's mayor Lordon Breed also attended the event. Ahead of the film's premiere, various San Francisco landmarks, including SFO, were lit in a green hue to honour the cinematic event.
