Laurence Fishburne Wasn't Asked Back for 'Matrix 4'

One iconic character will not be returning for The Matrix 4 – Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus.

“I have not been invited,” he told New York Magazine. “Maybe that will make me write another play. I wish them well. I hope it’s great.”

“It is probably the role that I’ll be best remembered for, which is great; it’s not the only thing I’ll be remembered for, which is better,” he added.

“What I get with him is I’ve got Darth Vader in this hand, and I’ve got Obi-Wan in that hand,” he continued. “I’ve got Bruce Lee, I’ve got Muhammad Ali shuffled in there, and I’ve got kung fu.”

Original stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie Ann Moss will return for the fourth film.
