Sony Pictures has just released the trailer for “Bad Boys 4,” starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. The film’s official title is “Bad Boys: Ride or Die.”

This is the fourth film in the popular action-comedy franchise that debuted in 1995, when Smith and Lawrence first teamed up as Miami PD detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, who investigate illegal drug trading in Miami.

While the first two films were directed by Michael Bay, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah directed “Bad Boys for Life” and are returning for this latest installment of the “Bad Boys” franchise. Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Núñez, Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd, Jacob Scipio, Melanie Liburd, Tasha Smith, Rhea Seehorn and Joe Pantoliano also star.

Sony also revealed that Tiffany Haddish has joined the cast of the film in an undisclosed role. Haddish has been close with the Smith family after co-starring with Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith in the 2017 hit “Girls Trip.”

As for this franchise, seventeen years separated the releases of “Bad Boys II” 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.

“Bad Boys 4” is set to be released in theaters June 7. Watch the trailer below.

Will Smith on ‘I Am Legend’ sequel with Michael B Jordan: We're really close, script just came in

In Bad Boys for Life, Mike (Will Smith) 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.

Set to hit theaters on June 7th, Bad Boys: Ride or Die looks to deliver the same Smith-Lawrence chemistry that fans have come to love.
The fourth “Bad Boys” film, titled “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” hits theaters this June, and the first trailer for the movie, which reunites Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as everyone’s favorite Miami cops, has just dropped.

“Bad Boys: Ride or Die” promises pretty much everything you’d expect from a “Bad Boys” sequel – crazy action, barbed quips and ace comedic banter between our two leads.

“Bad Boys 4” is notable for being the most commercial movie Will Smith has attempted since he slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. (This was the same ceremony where he won the Best Actor Academy Award, but the slap is all anybody talks about.) Since then, he starred in Apple Films’ slave drama “Emancipation” for Antoine Fuqua, but has otherwise been laying low.

The “Bad Boys” franchise started back in 1995. The first film was Michael Bay’s debut feature and one of the last movies that Don Simpson would produce alongside Jerry Bruckheimer before dying in 1996.

Bay returned for the sequel, “Bad Boys II” in 2003. The third film, “Bad Boys for Life,” was released in early 2020 and was one of the last movies to get a wide release before the pandemic forced movie theaters to shut down. The third film was directed by Belgian filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who have returned for “Bad Boys: Ride or Die.”

Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig and Paola Núñez return after being introduced in the third movie, alongside newcomers Eric Dane playing the villain, Ioan Gruffudd and Rhea Seehorn. Also: Tasha Smith replaces Theresa Randle, who has played Lawrence’s wife in the three previous movies.

Written by Chris Bremner, “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” destroys large portions of Miami’s infrastructure beginning on June 7.
Will Smith’s Mike Lowrey and Martin Lawrence’s Marcus Burnett are back as Sony dropped a new trailer for Bad Boys 4 and gave it a new title: Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die. The pic which sees Bad Boys for Life filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah reteaming comes out in theaters on June 7.

Already you know it’s going to be exciting when Lowrey and Burnett turn the tables on a quickie mart hold-up. The set-up in this cop movie iteration: their boss Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano) has been framed as longtime drug smuggler.

There’s lot of burning cars, highway chases, big helicopters that go down, and strip clubs here, so expect the box office, which has been going along at a nice hum post strikes, to keep speeding along.

Similar to the Ghostbusters franchise recently, which Sony finally got past the $1 billion mark, expect the Culver City, CA lot to do the same here with the fourth installment of Bad Boys, the feature series currently counting $841M at the global box office.

Chris Bremner wrote the screenplays with Smith, Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, and Doug Belgrad producing.

The movie also stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Nuñez, Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd, Jacob Scipio, Melanie Liburd, Tasha Smith, Tiffany Haddish and Joe Pantoliano.

EPs are Lawrence, Bremner, Barry Waldman, Mike Stenson, James Lassiter and Jon Mone.
Fans have been waiting for Bad Boys 4 ever since the third movie in the franchise was released in 2020. The SAG-AFTRA strike delayed production on the fourth film for quite some time, but on Feb. 26, 2024, Sony Pictures announced that the movie's release date had been moved up to June 7, 2024, a week ahead of when the title was originally slated to come out.

While details about the project are scarce, we do know a little about what fans can expect to see, including, of course, the return of the movie's two main stars, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

Here is everything we know about Bad Boys 4 so far, including who else is in the cast.

What is the Bad Boys 4 release date?
The movie is slated for theatrical release on June 7, 2024. Production was delayed for months due to the dual writers' and actors' strikes that brought Hollywood to a standstill last year, but Smith confirmed in February 2023 that shooting on the movie had resumed in Miami.

What is the plot of Bad Boys 4?
Plot details for Bad Boys 4 are being kept mostly under wraps, but in the third Bad Boys movie, Will Smith's Mike Lowrey found out that villain Armando (Jacob Scipio) was his son. The post-credits scene showed Mike visiting Armando in prison, setting up the possibility that the two would make amends and perhaps team up in the future.

It's also worth noting that Smith was at one point spotted filming what appeared to be a wedding scene with costar Melanie Liburd.

Is Will Smith in Bad Boys 4?
Yes, Will Smith is returning as Mike Lowrey. He confirmed in January 2023 that the movie was a go, writing on Instagram, "It's about that time!"

Is Martin Lawrence in Bad Boys 4?

"For us to come together and prove that we can deliver, and we can pull people into the box office—that two Black stars, two sitcom stars, could make money at the box office [was huge]," Lawrence said of the OG movie, which grossed $141,407,024 at the worldwide box office (that's $286,170,145 when adjusted for inflation).
