As for this franchise, seventeen years separated the releases of the second part in 2003 and “Bad Boys for Life” in 2020, the latter of which came out in theaters just before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down exhibition and earned $426.5 million at the worldwide box office.
In January, Smith and Lawrence announced the fourth installment on social media by sharing a reunion video with the caption, “IT’S ABOUT THAT TIME!”
In “Bad Boys for Life,” Mike was on the hit list of a young man, Armando (Jacob Scipio), whose mother Isabel (Kate del Castillo) tasked him with murdering those responsible for the death of his father, a drug king pin. The third film leaves viewers with the revelation that Armando is actually Mike’s son, and a credits scene hints at father and son potentially working together in some capacity.
The movie is set to be released in theatres June 7
