During an interview on the Today show, Eddie Murphy confirmed his participation in the reboot of “Pink Panther” and revealed that he will play the famous role of Inspector Clouseau.
The 64-year-old actor told host Al Roker about the various projects he is involved in and spoke about bringing the iconic character to life, which has previously been played by renowned actors such as Peter Sellers and Steve Martin.
“I’ve already started ‘Shrek 5’. And I’m going to be… I’m Inspector Clouseau in the next ‘Pink Panther‘ film,” said Murphy, who is also working on a biographical movie about funk legend George Clinton.
Roker responded with surprise and asked Murphy if the character, known to be French, would be written as such. The actor responded that it probably would be: “Maybe. Well, he has to be French, but he could also be Haitian. I’ll tell you, he’s Black. He’s definitely Black,” he said.
