Bad Boys for Life, the third installment in the Bad Boys film franchise, finally made it to the big screens after delays spanning a decade and a half. Michael Bay, the director of the first two Bad Boys films, had wanted to make a third one but budget constraints were a big hurdle. After all the delays and changes in crew, the third film finally released in January 2020. It became an instant hit. The film received positive critic reviews, grossed a whopping $424 million worldwide, becoming the highest grossing film in the franchise, and the biggest January release of all time. Following its success, Sony announced their plans for a fourth film as well.

Bad Boys 4- Cast and Plot details

Following the events of Bad Boys for Life, we can only expect that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will reprise their roles as Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, respectively. It is reported that Chris Bremner will return to write the script for Bad Boys 4. The ending of Bad Boys for Life revealed that Armando was Mike’s son, so we can expect Jacob Scipio to also return for the fourth film. As for the story of the film, the post-credits scene of Bad Boys for Life might give us an idea about what it might be. Mike offers Armando a chance for redemption, which might set him up working with AMMO in the fourth film, now headed by Mike and Marcus.

The director of the fourth film has not been finalised yet. Director duo Adil and Bilall, who directed Bad Boys for Life, had this to say about a potential return for Bad Boys 4:

“They didn’t call us yet, but I hope that we get the chance to do that, because we love this franchise, we loved our relationship with Will and Martin, so we’re ready to do it.”

Release Date of Bad Boys 4

Considering that Bad Boys for Life came out seventeen years after Bad Boys II, we can only hope that Bad Boys 4 doesn’t take that long. The franchise is brimming with success right now, and with Chris Bremner returning as screenwriter, we can expect Bad Boys 4 to release latest by 2023.
