Eddie Murphy is going to think pink.

The comedy legend has revealed that he will take on the role of Inspector Clouseau in a new “Pink Panther” movie.

Murphy, who stars in the upcoming action comedy “The Pickup,” with Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer, said playing the iconic character is on the docket of his upcoming projects.

“I’m getting ready to do a George Clinton, Parliament-Funkadelic. I’m getting ready to do George Clinton,” he told Al Roker about playing the funk music legend in an interview that aired July 28 on TODAY.

“(I’ve) already started ‘Shrek 5.’ And I’m going to be — I’m Inspector Clouseau in the next ‘Pink Panther,’” he continued.

“Wait, what?” asked a surprised Al.

“Yeah, I’m the new Clouseau,” Murphy replied.

“You’re the new Inspector Clouseau?” Al asked.

“Yeah, I’m the new Clouseau,” the “Beverly Hills Cop” star confirmed.

Al then asked if Murphy, 64, will be French in the film, like the character is.

Eddie a GOAT, but he's no Peter Sellers. Not even Steve Martin could come close when he tried it.

I've never been a fan of Eddie's movie selection. But he makes them work sometimes.

I wouldn't have pegged a nutty professor remake to be a hit either.

This is perfect casting. Eddie can kill it....now they just need a good director.

I'm all in if it's not an Amazon or Netflix production. If it is, count me out. Tired of the paint-by-the-numbers bullshyt they release. It doesn't matter who they cast, 92% of the time it's mid. And that's putting it mildly.
