Sony To Release ‘Bad Boys 4’ In June 2024
Variety reports that Sony has also dated the fourth “Bad Boys” movie, which will once again reunite Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. The untitled sequel will open over Father’s Day weekend on June 14, 2024.
“Bad Boys 4” was announced at the start of the year and is the sequel to “Bad Boys for Life,” the third installment of the long-running action franchise that earned $426.5 million at the worldwide box office in winter 2020, just ahead of the COVID pandemic shutting down theaters. “Bad Boys for Life” directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah return to direct the fourth movie from a script by Chris Bremner.
The cast will include returning stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, and Paola Núñez, as well as newcomers Rhea Seehorn, Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd. Tasha Smith will take over the role of Theresa, the devoted wife of Martin Lawrence‘s Marcus Burnett; the role was played by Theresa Randle in the previous three films.
The original 1995 “Bad Boys” earned $141 million worldwide, while the 2003 sequel “Bad Boys II” totaled $273 million. “Bad Boys for Life” managed to outgross the previous two entries combined.
Jerry Bruckheimer, Will Smith for Westbrook, Doug Belgrad, and Chad Oman are set to produce, with Martin Lawrence, James Lassiter, Mike Stenson, Barry Waldman, and Jon Mone serving as executive producers.
