From an air force pilot to a pimp, a hero to a villain. Please? Laurence Fishburne has played various character types during his storied career. Seriously Marvel, I'm not even close to being as amazing as Laurence Fishburne but I will play a shadow, dead body #3, anything. I would have played a piece of debris to be in the Marvel Universe. I was very, very just happy to jump in with all four feet. But this is the Laurence Fishburne we are talking about. As a fan of both the comics and the movies, it wouldn't be surprising if Laurence felt hesitant about stepping into the MCU after 10 years. And it’s executed, I think, brilliantly in both movies. His primary relationship, his most important relationship is with his daughter. It’s one of the best things about the Ant-Man character as Paul Rudd plays it. (Laughs) One of the things that makes the Ant-Man movies unique is the overwhelming theme of family, specifically fathers and daughters. I haven’t seen a suit, and I hope I don’t see a suit too soon…‘cause I’m gonna have to lose some weight to get into it. I am not at liberty to speak on such an operation if in fact such an operation exists. Is it possible to see anything of Goliath in the future? Maybe a young protege? Let me put it to you this way. It just kind of organically happened.īill Foster is Goliath in the comics. They presented this character to me, and I met with the director, and we got on really well ‘cause he’s also a guy who’s in his fifties who loves comics. I like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Avengers, X-Men. They came back and said, oh, there’s this character, Bill Foster, who I was not aware of, oddly enough, because I wasn’t an Ant-Man reader. So I just asked to have a meeting with him and said, look, I’ll do whatever you need me to do but I really would like to be a part of the MCU. Louis D’Esposito and I had worked together about thirty years ago on the Disney lot. I wanted very much to be a part of the MCU because of the way it was progressing. And then I don’t know, three or four years back I couldn’t help myself. So that was my first foray into the Marvel Universe. Photo: Marvel He was kind enough to cast me to do the vocal performance in that movie. He was like, who’s Norrin Radd? So I had to tell him about the origins of the Silver Surfer and Galactus. And I ran into the director of the Fantastic Four movie, Rise of the Silver Surfer, Tim Story, and I said to him, “Hey man, I’m Norrin Radd.” And he said, who? I said, Norrin Radd. I’ve been reading for a long time, I've been watchin’ the movies, too. Which goes to show us all, if we want something we should pursue it, with all our hearts. Getting started with Marvel wasn't an accident, it was something he wanted and went after. This isn't Laurence's first foray into the Marvel world. For anybody who thinks I’m perhaps disloyal to one or the other all I can say is, look, I paid money for both comic books.
I’m grateful and happy to be a part of that small group of actors who’ve been in both universes. Well…you’ve answered your own question. No, I started reading comic books when I was very young. Which comic verse he enjoys more? Or you know, *cough* why Marvel is better *cough*. For those of you who don't know, he played Perry White in Man of Steel, a DC comics movie. Comic Books and Pimps: Ant-Man and The Wasp Laurence Fishburne Interview There has been some talk about Laurence switching sides in the cinematic universe. I was invited by Disney and Marvel to attend the Ant-Man and The Wasp press trip. And if you have a problem with that, take it up with Mr. Not only is he a legend in hollywood but he also collects comic books. See everyone, reading and collecting comic books is not lame. You have never been in a room with a more laid back, chill guy than Laurence Fisburne.
