After a long time of waiting, finally, Lana Wachowski, decided to continue the story After the end of ‘The Matrix Revolutions’ did not leave fans of the saga convinced and although it was thought that the entire cast would be back for this new installment, it was confirmed that Laurence Fishburne will not return in ‘Matrix 4’.
Just when we were hoping to see Neo, Trinity and Morpheus again, production has decided to continue without Fishburne, This was already suspected from the moment the cast of the film was confirmed and the actor was not included in the cast, however, fans still hoped that he would be integrated into the recordings later, but that will no longer happen.
In an interview with the magazine, New York Magazine, Laurence took the time to remember his passage through the saga and considered Morpheus will always be the most popular character of his career. “It’s probably the role that I’ll be best remembered for, which is great; It’s not the only thing I’ll be remembered for, it’s better. What I get with him is that I have Darth Vader in this hand, and I have Obi-Wan in that hand. I have Bruce Lee, I have Muhammad Ali mixed in there, and I have kung fu. It’s the old story in a modern context”, Explained the actor.
Finally, Fishburne, confirmed that he will not be present in the new film And it is not that he did not want to repeat the character, but that they did not even speak to him to be part of it. “They haven’t invited me. Maybe that will make me write another play. I wish you the best. Hope it’s cool”Said the actor, confirming that he will not be present in ‘Matrix 4’.
Another character who will not return to the saga is Agent Smith, Since Hugo Weaving revealed that due to his schedule, it was impossible for him to accept the role and although he kept in contact with Lana Wachowski to be able to adapt the times, the director made the decision to continue the project without him.
This is how it was confirmed that Laurence Fishburne will not return in ‘Matrix 4’, So now the theory that Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will personify a young version of Morpheus has made more sense, since surely the film will present travel in time.
