He described the Beverly Hills Cop and Coming to America reboots as a career “bookend”.
Murphy added: “I can get up on stage and do my stand-up and if, you know, some incredible filmmaker comes along with some great movie or there’s a great opportunity [then I’ll do it], but I’m not going to be making movies two, three a year like back in the early days, because I like to just be home with the kids.”
The actor has recently generated Oscar buzz for his role in new film Dolemite Is My Name , which is available to stream on Netflix.
Beverly Hills Cop was released in 1985 and grossed $316.4m at the box office.
