Get ready to buckle up for more adrenaline-fueled action as the iconic duo of Bad Boys, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, return to the silver screen! The highly anticipated fourth installment of the beloved cop comedy franchise has wrapped up shooting and is set to hit theaters sooner than expected.
In a joint Instagram post, Smith and Lawrence shared the exciting news with fans, confirming that production for the action-packed film is complete. The caption accompanying the post reads, “WRAPPED! Nothin’ but Magic every time I’m with my guy. See y’all June 7 for @BADBOYS 4!!”
Since its inception in 1995, the Bad Boys series has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide with its blend of high-octane action and laugh-out-loud humor. Smith and Lawrence portray the dynamic duo of Miami detectives, Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, respectively, who take on criminals with their unique brand of wit and charm.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting news of the fourth installment since it was teased in 2020, with filming commencing in 2023. Joining Smith and Lawrence in the upcoming film is Vanessa Hudgens, who is set to reprise her role as the weapons expert, Kelly.
To keep fans engaged during the wait, Lawrence treated viewers to behind-the-scenes glimpses through his YouTube channel. One particular vlog captured a humorous exchange between the co-stars, where they reflected on the naming choices of the previous installment, Bad Boys For Life, and how it could have been more fitting for the fourth movie.
In a viral video announcement, Smith drove anticipation levels sky-high as he confirmed the production of Bad Boys 4. The duo’s chemistry and camaraderie were on full display as they joked about the missed opportunity to save the title for the latest installment.
Despite facing delays due to the SAG-AFTRA strike in 2023, which halted production for several months, Smith and Lawrence remained dedicated to delivering another blockbuster hit. Their commitment to the project was evident as they juggled filming commitments while maintaining a sense of excitement and enthusiasm.
With a star-studded cast including Vanessa Hudgens, Melanie Liburd, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Núnez, Jacob Scipio, Eric Dane, and Ioan Gruffudd, Bad Boys 4 promises to deliver the same pulse-pounding action and comedic flair that fans have come to love.
Mark your calendars for June 7 as Will Smith and Martin Lawrence gear up to once again take audiences on a wild ride in Bad Boys 4!
