Laurence Fishburne, an Academy Award nominee, recently revealed why he didn’t feature in Warner Bros.’ “The Matrix Resurrections.” In the initial three films, Fishburne played Morpheus, a significant character who helped Neo comprehend that he was living within a simulation.)
In the 2003 film “The Matrix Revolutions”, fans last saw Fishburne as Morpheus, who was rescued along with Zion’s inhabitants following Neo’s selfless act. A more youthful portrayal of the character, played by Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, emerged in “The Matrix Resurrections”.
Why wasn’t Laurence Fishburne in The Matrix Resurrections?
In a recent chat on The View, Fishburne clarified why he wasn’t part of Matrix Resurrections. He disclosed that he wasn’t actually asked to be a part of the film. Despite his efforts to work something out for the action sequel, creative disagreements prevented him from reprising his iconic role as Morpheus.
According to Fishburne, he proposed his assistance to the fourth Matrix, but they weren’t receptive to this suggestion. He clarified, “I didn’t just keep quiet about it; I explicitly stated that I was willing to help.
As a gamer, I’d say: “You know, if there’s another Matrix sequel in the works and they ask for my help as Morpheus again, I ain’t saying no just yet. It all boils down to the situation and who’s behind it – the creative team. If the script is solid and the right people are involved, well, you never know.
As a die-hard Matrix fan here, I’d like to share that Lana Wachowski, who penned the script alongside David Mitchell and Aleksandar Hemon, was at the helm for The Matrix Resurrections, a long-awaited sequel. In this latest chapter, we got to see Keanu Reeves reprise his iconic role as Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss return as Trinity. However, unlike its predecessors, Resurrections didn’t perform as well financially, with a global box office take of $157 million, marking it as the lowest-grossing film in the franchise to date.
