In this article, we'll cover everything we know so far about "Bad Boys 4," from its release date to the cast and potential story details.
The journey to "Bad Boys 4" has been a rollercoaster ride for both fans and filmmakers. While "Bad Boys for Life" was met with critical acclaim upon its 2020 release, news about the fourth movie remained scarce for years. However, after much anticipation and several hurdles, development for "Bad Boys 4" has officially begun.
Sony Pictures has confirmed that "Bad Boys 4" is slated for release on June 14, 2024. This exciting news means that we won't have to endure a long gap between movies, as we did between "Bad Boys 2" in 2003 and "Bad Boys for Life" in 2020.
The heart of the "Bad Boys" franchise lies in the dynamic chemistry between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Fans will be delighted to know that both actors are reprising their roles as Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey, respectively. Their on-screen partnership is undoubtedly a major factor contributing to the franchise's success.
Joining them in "Bad Boys 4" are some familiar faces from "Bad Boys for Life." Vanessa Hudgens will return as Kelly, Alexander Ludwig as Dorn, and Paola Núñez as Captain Rita Secada. Additionally, there is a possibility of Gabrielle Union making an appearance as Syd, Marcus' sister, following the cancellation of her "L.A's Finest" spinoff show.
Excitingly, the cast of "Bad Boys 4" will also see some fresh faces. Melanie Liburd, known for her role in "This Is Us," will join the team in a yet-to-be-revealed role as Christine. Eric Dane, recognized for his performance in "Grey's Anatomy" and "Euphoria," is rumored to take on the role of the movie's main villain. Another notable addition to the cast is Rhea Seehorn, renowned for her compelling portrayal of Kim Wexler in "Better Call Saul."
As of now, specific story details for "Bad Boys 4" have not been officially disclosed. However, we can speculate based on the post-credit scene in "Bad Boys for Life." The revelation that Armando Armas (played by Jacob Scipio) is Mike's son suggests that the upcoming movie might delve deeper into their relationship. This could lead to a compelling plotline involving Armando teaming up with his father and Marcus to take on a new drug kingpin in Miami.
Although no trailer has been released yet, an on-set video from before the SAG-AFTRA strike showcases an intense action sequence featuring a massive explosion. This suggests that "Bad Boys 4" will continue to deliver the high-octane action fans have come to expect from the franchise.
With the official confirmation of "Bad Boys 4," fans can rest assured that the beloved duo of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will be back to entertain us with their wit, camaraderie, and thrilling adventures. Scheduled for release on June 14, 2024, the movie promises to be an action-packed spectacle with an exciting blend of returning and new cast members.
