Laurence Fishburne Reveals He Will Not Appear in THE MATRIX 4

Laurence Fishburne has revealed that he will not appear in the upcoming film, The Matrix 4.

"I have not been invited. Maybe that will make me write another play. I wish them well. I hope it's great," Fishburne told New York Magazine, according to The Wrap.

Fishburne went on to discuss his role as Morpheus, a character he appeared as in the original three "Matrix" films.

"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 said. "What I get with him is I've got Darth Vader in this hand, and I've got Obi-Wan in that hand. I've got Bruce Lee, I've got Muhammad Ali shuffled in there, and I've got kung fu."
