Laurence Fishburn has mixed feelings about ‘Matrix Resurrections’

“Matrix” actor Laurence Fishburn not only has a good impression of the fourth part of the series. “He wasn’t as bad as I expected,” Fishburne told the magazine “Variety” to “Matrix Resurrections”. “And he wasn’t as good as I hoped.” Fishburn portrayed the mysterious Morpheus in the trilogy, but he didn’t appear in the new sequel.

Not really part of the “Matrix” family anymore

“But I think Carrie-Anne and Keanu really did their thing,” Fishburne added. Carrie-Anne Moss and Keanu Reeves starred in their original roles as Trinity and Neo in Resurrections. A variation of Morpheus appeared in the film but was played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Apparently Fishburne can live with the change of cast quite well. When asked if he would miss being part of The Matrix, he replied, “No, not really.”

The fourth part was shot by Lana Wachowski alone, while she directed the trilogy together with her sister Lilly. Morpheus wasn’t the only newly cast role: instead of Hugo Weaving, Jonathan Groff played Agent Smith.

Laurence spoke to Variety at the premiere of The School For Good And Evil, based on Soman Chainani’s fantasy novel of the same name. In the film, which was released on Netflix on October 19, Fishburne plays the principal of a school that trains fairy tale creatures. “The movie, I have to say, is really good,” Fishburn said of The School For Good And Evil. “He makes fun. He’s really smart. It’s sort of a cool girl power movie.”
