The Fortnite Connection You Missed In The Matrix Resurrections – Looper

During a scene in which Neo is attempting to evacuate everyone from his office, we see that one member of his team is played by none other than Donald Mustard, the CCO of Epic Games and the developer behind “Fortnite.” Mustard even gets a close-up and single throwaway line, which involves telling Neo he thinks the building is being attacked by “someone pissed about the latest update.”

Mustard’s brief cameo is a neat little treat because it reminds audiences of the recent collaboration between “The Matrix” and Epic Games in “The Matrix Awakens,” which is currently marketed as an “Unreal Engine 5 Experience” available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. On top of that, the cameo may also be a small homage to one of Fortnite’s character skins, which was mistaken for Keanu Reeves so often that eventually Epic Games just made an entirely separate skin to put the actor in the game for real (via The Independent).

Like many aspects of the film, it’s a fun detail that works on multiple levels, and just one of the many Easter eggs fans should keep an eye out for the next time they watch “The Matrix Resurrections.”
