Oh I got the impression the guy at the end was supposed to be Smith, but maybe not.
It looks like a remake in that main character is unsure about the reality that he is in or something is not right about the world. Follow the rabbit tattoo for truth to Morpheus look alike and take red pill to reveal reality and discover the matrix. Neo doesn't know he is the One, but then discovers he has special powers while training with mentor. Helps rebels fight off agents including hallway fight scene and infamous bullet stopping scene.
This is all fine especially in a trailer as it reintroducing people to the world, but I just hope the story and plot are different. I guess I am more interested in what happened to the humans (including Morpheus) 20 years ago, how is Trinity alive, what did the Oracle mean at the end, did the machines double cross the humans, is Smith really dead, did the machines unplug people as promised/what happened to them, are humans and machines living together, did something go haywire when the matrix was rebooted?

The Matrix had other agents besides Smith, remember? It's just another Agent.
Neo stopped bullets at least twice on screen before:

Trinity has a trademark kick and Morpheus the flying knee. Can something never be seen again because of that?.
Things like this do not make the movie a rehash. Story does.
What do we know? Not much other than Neo and Trinity not knowing each other living in a dream/illusion. What else do we know? Neo sees things and actively knows what The Matrix is. Is i therapy about it. That's not like the original. Neo was an unhappy bored regular who liked to hack. This Neo believes he had some experience with the Matrix. Knows what it is. And we've NEVER seen Trinity like this before.

lol I never mentioned their fighting styles and there is nothing wrong with him stopping bullets. I only mentioned stopping bullets because it is in the climax of the trailer and in the climax of the original film.
We know Neo is a guy that knows something different about the world and has dreams about the Matrix, but doesn't know what it is. He runs into Trinity, they don't know each other, but feel something. Follow white rabbit to Morpheus look alike and takes red pill to reveal the real world. Fights agents. We get lots of throwbacks to the first film with liquid mirror, hallway fight. The plot of the film could be drastically different, it's a trailer, I'm just saying the trailer makes it look like a remake (remakes do have a few changes here and there) and it is probably made that way on purpose to reintroduce people to this world (it's been a while). The actual story/plot of the film could be, and probably is, VASTLY different than the original.

You literally said
"It looks like a remake"
"Helps rebels fight off agents including hallway fight scene and infamous bullet stopping scene."
These do not make a movie repeat or "rehash" of the original. People throw around the rehash argument without much thought. Plot does.
Trinity knew who Neo was in the first one. They didn't "know" each other, but she certainly knew who he was. She doesn't even know who she is in this one, and Neo is aware of the Matrix. He remembers it. Neither one of these things were a part of the original.

Because it does. When you take infamous moments from the first film and highlight them in your trailer with, it gives off that appeal. Again, not saying that will be the plot. I assume the trailer was crafted that way because they are appealing to nostalgia.
Maybe you're misunderstanding what I am saying. I am not saying the film will be a remake. I am simply just saying that the trailer makes it out to be one imo.
