What do we know about Bad Boys 4?
Announced in January 2020 following the success of Bad Boys for Life, Bad Boys 4 is being directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. Filming initially began in 2023 but was delayed because of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike.
Smith is once again reprising his role as Detective Lieutenant Mike Lowrey in Bad Boys 4, while Martin Lawrence is returning to play his partner, Marcus Burnett.
The movie also stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Núñez, Tasha Smith, John Salley, Eric Dane, DJ Khaled, Ioan Gruffudd, Rhea Seehorn, Joyner Lucas, and Quinn Hemphill.
“With Jerry Bruckheimer [high-profile producer] movies, we always tend to think about all the action and the crazy explosions,” El Arbi and Fallah previously told Collider about the film. “But actually, it’s the characters of his movies that are the reason why the audience loves to watch them. So, we went further and deeper on those character moments. But everything that we learned, in terms of camera movements and just directing on set, we tried to push ourselves and go even further. Sometimes we had some funky moments and funky shots that we didn’t try on the last one because it was maybe a little more classical. This time, we go more funky and more loco on this one.”
Bad Boys 4 is currently scheduled to release in the United States on June 14, 2024.
