Laurence Fishburne says The Matrix team 'didn't respond well' when he offered to return for 2021 sequel

Laurence Fishburne revealed that 'The Matrix' team 'didn't respond well' when he offered to return for the fourth 'Matrix' film in 2021, and addressed Morpheus' potential return for a fifth movie.

After Fishburne made the reveal, panelist Sunny Hostin urged, "You need to come back," while Haines added that it "sounds like a decision as to whether [or not] they want it to be a great Matrix[movie]." Ahead of Resurrections' release, Fishburne announced that he wasn't asked to return as Morpheus in the project, which did welcome back original stars like Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Jada Pinkett Smith. "It was my job not to give a literal impersonation of Laurence Fishburne's performance as Morpheus but to understand that history," Abdul-Mateen told EW of playing the part at the time.
