What's next for Eddie Murphy?

After releasing the latest "Beverly Hills Cop" installment earlier this month, Murphy has another possible project in mind.

He was coy initially; when asked if it might be a stand-up show, he elaborated in a recent interview with USA TODAY.

"I have flirted with the idea of a live show for years and years, but when I think about it, I realize it would have to be more than just stand-up," he said. "I've done so much other stuff, I’d have to have music in my show, maybe I'd be telling stories about my career and my life, and I'd have some stand-up in the show. So it’d be more like a Broadway show."

He later added, "But not just doing stand-up and going, 'What is wrong with Joe Biden?' or just talking about the problems of the day. I need a bigger canvas to work with."

As for whether he'd suit up as Axel Foley again, Murphy was optimistic despite Netflix remaining mum on the possibility of another "Beverly Hills Cop" installment.

"They're developing 'Beverly Hills Cop 5' as we speak," he said. "And if the script is right, I'd do it tomorrow."
