At NYCC, Laurence Fishburne made it clear that he didn’t want to explore the Star Wars galaxy expect from his couch, “I’m good on the couch with Star Wars. I don’t need a lightsaber. I don’t — pew pew! — I don’t need it.”
The Matrix actor made it known that he is open to joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as X-Men gets a reboot, but is not keen on the idea of joining the Star Wars universe.
“I know that they’re talking about the X-Men now,” Fishburne said during a panel at the convention. “So, at this point, I want one of two things. The first thing would be: what do you think about Laurence Fishburne as Professor X?”
During the NYCC panel, it was suggested Fishburne could also have potential in the Star Wars universe, the actor swiftly said, “No, I’m good.”
“I’m watching everything. I’m watching every Star Wars, I’m in the middle of Rebels now, man,” he added. “I’m good on the couch with Star Wars. I don’t need a lightsaber. I don’t — pew pew! — I don’t need it.”
