Headline: Laurence Fishburne claims he was snubbed for Matrix sequel
Caption: The 63-year-old Oscar-nominated star played Morpheus in the iconic 1999 original film - and reprised the role in sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions which were both released in 2003. A long-awaited sequel, titled The Matrix Resurrections, was released in 2021 with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity, while Yahya Abdul-Mateen II played a younger version of Morpheus and Fishburne appeared only briefly via archive footage. Appearing on The View on Thursday, the legendary star told the panel he had asked filmmakers if he could take part in the fourth film - but said his offer was rejected.
