Priyanka recently made headlines after donning a bold plunging Ralph & Russo ivory kimono at the 2020 Grammy's red carpet last Sunday.
Along with Priyanka, American actress Jada Pinkett Smith and French actor Lambert Wilson are also in talks with the Matrix 4 team.
The cast is also believed to include Neil Patrick Harris, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jessica Henwick, Yahya Abdul-Mateen and Toby Onwumere.
The first Matrix film was released 20 years ago in 1999. Its story revolved around the fictitious plot of artificial being taking over humans and humanity.
The sequels "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions" both came out in 2003.
