The film «The Matrix 5» — who will play Morpheus

The film “The Matrix 5”, after last year’s news about a change in management, brings new surprises to fans of the series. New information has been added to the replacement of Lan and Lily Wachowski — Laurence Fishburne expressed doubts about returning to the role of Morpheus in future versions of this film.

During the panel discussion «The Matrix» (moderated by the podcast host «Happy Sad Confused» xrust Josh Horowitz, Fishburne and Joe Pantoliano) discussed the film's success, casting, and the cultural impact of Morpheus and Cypher. The reason is very good — two decades have passed.

Responding to the question of how The Matrix influenced new generations of directors, Fishburne explained the importance of the film for various genres of storytelling: since The Matrix there has not been a single sci-fi action or fantasy film, which it would not influence,” he stated. “She's everywhere. It has penetrated so deeply that now you almost forget where it came from. Now people don't realize it, but there is no Matrix, and there is no Marvel Cinematic Universe. She just looks different.”

Fishburne added that he approached the Wachowski sisters about starring in The Matrix: Resurrection, but ultimately was not invited to star in the sequel. “I reached out to them,” Fishburne said. “But nothing worked out. I said, “Thank you very much.” And Lana replied: “Thank you very much, I’ll think about it,” and that’s all.”
