Exclusive: Martin Lawrence, Will Smith talk Bad Boys: Ride or Die
Hitting theaters on June 7 is Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the fourth installment in the Bad Boys franchise after 2020’s Bad Boys For Life, Starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, reprising their roles as Detective Lieutenant Mike Lowrey and Detective Lieutenant Marcus Burnett respectively, the sequel is once again directed by Belgian-Moroccan action duo Adil & Bilall, who also directed Bad Boys for Life. Chris Bremner wrote the script.
This summer, the world's favorite Bad Boys are back with their iconic mix of edge-of-your seat action and outrageous comedy but this time with a twist: Miami's finest are now on the run. When Captain Howard is unjustly accused of a lifetime of drug-related crimes, the Bad Boys vow to clear his name. But as they get closer to finding out the truth, Mike and Marcus are framed themselves—and now, they’re fugitives with a cartel-funded bounty on their heads. Pursued by the cops, targeted by the cartels, hunted by every gang in the city... whatcha gonna do when everybody comes for you?
Returning actors from the last installment include Paola Núnez, Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, and Jacob Scipio, who played Armando Aretas (the estranged son Mike Lowery). Bianca Bethune & Dennis McDonald are returning from the last two films.
