Gwyn de Vere

Gwyn de Vere is a character introduced in The Matrix Resurrections.
==History==
Gwyn is one of the head executives at Deus Machina, the video game company that "Thomas Anderson" works for (really Neo, whose memories were suppressed). Thomas created the award-winning "Matrix" video game trilogy for the company twenty years ago, but their parent company Warner Bros. is now pressuring Deus Machina to produce another sequel. 
Gwyn runs a roundtable meeting with Thomas and the rest of the creative staff, presenting a detailed report by the marketing department. She presents everyone with packets summarizing focus group research that marketing conducted, including "keyword association" for the brand, with the top two results being "originality" and "fresh". She imperiously instructs the team to churn out a new sequel that they never intended to make, which is also innovative and living up to the brand name expectations of their corporate backers. The creative staff then spends days trying to come up with a "new" take for Matrix 4, based on this cynical and manipulative marketing research.
==Notes==
*"Gwyn de Vere" seems to be a play on words for "Guinevere", the legendary queen of King Arthur. It is a Welsh name that literally means "White Enchantress" or "White Spirit/Spectre/Supernatural being".
*Christina Ricci's role in the film was relatively brief, as she was only in a single scene and only had three lines of dialogue, though in that short cameo she does appear prominently as the head of Thomas Anderson's video game company (i.e. comparable to how in the first Matrix film, Neo's boss Rhineheart was only in one scene, but prominently threatening to fire him if he didn't shape up). 
*Given that Thomas Anderson's business partner at the company turned out to be the program Smith (with his memory wiped), and his friend and co-developer Jude Gallagher turned out to also be a program (a "handler" assigned to manipulate Neo), it's unclear if anyone working at Deus Machina was human, or if they were all Bots like Jude. Gwyn de Vere's true status is therefore unknown.
