The legendary actor and comedian is opening up retirement.

Martin is in his second act with a career of over five decades.

[{"selector":"#anim-16535651-0a86-485c-be6d-b7406e23bdc9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3ca6a317-e4cf-499e-8324-43c86f8856f9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-878cb0c8-9a57-4340-8e23-f3a927e3d3e6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This is due to the success of his Hulu series, “Only Murders In The Building.”

[{"selector":"#anim-f6ed4c5f-354c-4a99-bc23-4745afe3adf2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e111525d-964c-43ac-ab86-64d12d607006","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9e153325-5661-46bc-af89-ca96ac13915e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, Martin has no plans to chase another project when the show ends.

[{"selector":"#anim-0086dd72-9476-48de-8ee7-e9d90ae3251e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c80bb97b-f887-43bb-8b92-39f3e2b27bc9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0f3025f3-7d56-4a41-bce7-95aa70f56d39","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

“I’m not going to seek others. I’m not going to seek other movies,” he revealed.

[{"selector":"#anim-d1e53bce-6ca0-453f-beb5-32cd47317eaf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f1ed353a-612a-41c6-9d9a-e25449b2a4dc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fbfb4ef8-6b0c-4422-8c60-682551fe0f25","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, that doesn’t mean it is the end of the road.

Martin said he would prefer to slow down rather than completely bowing out.

“I’m really not interested in retiring. I’m not,” he declared.
