July 8, 2018: Laurence Fishburne Unlikely to Return as Perry White

Laurence Fishburne, who starred in both "Man of Steel" and "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" as Perry White, reveals that he was unable to be part of "Justice League" and isn't sure if he'll ever return to the role of the Daily Planet editor-in-chief.

"I don't think I'm still on call," he reveals. "I was unfortunately unable to go do some work on what turned out to be the Justice League movie. I don't know that I need to go back or if they'll have me back or not, but I was grateful to have been a part of it. I loved working with Zack (Snyder), I think he makes an incredible superhero movie."

As for whether he known anything about more Superman movies in the works...

"I don't. I don't. I haven't heard anything about it," he explains. "They just fell behind the eight-ball. I really wish they had started 20 years ago. But that's all right, they're where they are."

Fishburne, one of only a handful of actors to work on both DC and Marvel superhero films, plays Dr. Bill Foster, a rival scientist of Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) in "Ant-Man and the Wasp".
