Michelle Pfeiffer has moved to correct reports that she is retiring from acting, calling the claim "the most ridiculous thing" during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The three-time Oscar nominee explained that a comment she made about never wanting to "star in another movie" had been taken out of context, and that she was simply expressing a preference for ensemble casts over leading roles.

Pfeiffer's original remark came during an appearance tied to an Apple TV finale, where she said she only wanted to do ensemble pieces because she finds them "so much more fun." She remains busy on screen, starring as Stacy Clyburn in Paramount+'s The Madison, already renewed for a third season, and returning as Shayanne Millet in the second season of Apple TV's Margo's Got Money Troubles, a role that earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
