Laurence Fishburne Reveals Role in Crafting Morpheus’ Iconic ‘Matrix’ Look

 



Laurence Fishburne recently shared behind-the-scenes details about his involvement in creating the unforgettable appearance of Morpheus in The Matrix series, including his signature rimless sunglasses.

Collaborating on the Look

Speaking at New York Comic Con on October 12, 2025, Fishburne described how he worked closely with costume designer Kym Barrett to ensure Morpheus’ glasses matched the storyboards. When presented with glasses that included traditional stems, Fishburne insisted on the stemless design featured in the sketches.

This led to creative solutions, such as custom nose pad clips, to keep the glasses securely in place during filming. Fishburne joked, “It’s not my problem, son. That’s why they look like that,” highlighting his playful approach to the collaboration (People).

A Personal Touch

In addition to shaping Morpheus’ look on screen, Fishburne kept an original pair of the glasses for himself and gifted another to a young boy with cancer through Make-A-Wish, showing the personal significance of the role.

Legacy of Morpheus

Fishburne’s contributions to Morpheus’ appearance have cemented the character’s status as one of cinema’s most recognizable and enduring figures. Fans and industry professionals alike continue to celebrate both his performance and the meticulous attention to detail that brought the character to life.
