Movies News Talk
As of right now, no confirmation or hint of a fifth Bad Boy installment exists. Martin Lawrence recently said, though only on the proviso that his long-time partner, Will Smith, also returns, he would be quite open about returning for another movie. Actually, the chemistry of the pair has been mostly responsible for the success of the franchise; so, it would only make logical that it continues with both of them.
Lawrence's wish to keep shining in Bad Boys points well for the franchise, but ultimately its future would mostly rely on Smith's availability to return and most importantly Bad Boys: Ride Or Die's box office results. The several episodes in this buddy cop franchise have usually enjoyed great commercial success over the years, cumulatively generating over $840 million globally, so there is strong precedent suggesting this current installment would likewise find success.
Having two movies in the franchise already under his belt, filmmaker Adil El Arbi makes indications about a possible idea for Bad Boys 5. Originally starting in 1995, the action-comedy franchise has developed to be among the most well-known and popular buddy police movie series available. Under the direction of Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, the series has generated three films; the soon-to-come Bad Boys: Ride Or Die scheduled to be the fourth. Once more returning to reprise their roles, Lawrence and Smith are joined by franchise newcomer Eric Dane, Tiffany Haddish, and Rhea Seehorn.
Now, before of Ride or Die's premiere, El Arbi discussed the fourth installment with Screen Rant and even alluded to the idea of Bad Boys 5, should it come to pass. The filmmaker says that should a fifth film be approved, the team is ready for it and the franchise will probably go global should a follow-up film be developed. Please find his entire comment below:
Fans should anticipate several characters, story points, and revelations as the fourth Bad Boys film approaches.
While adding fresh ideas to the table, the fourth movie's concept promises to satisfy some of the same action-packed comedy spectators have come to expect from the series. This is the ideal chance for viewers to check out the series since its fast-paced plot and humor have already attracted many of them.
The temporary title for the fourth action-comedy movie with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is Bad Boys 4. Two hard-boiled Miami detectives called Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett follow drug kingpins and block illegal narcotics from getting around their city. The show is well-known for its fast-fire humor, intense scenes, and pair chemistry.
Released in 1995, the first movie soon proved to be a box office triumph. The movie had a sequel in 2003, and the fourth movie marks a comeback to cinema theater. A fresh movie would most definitely excite fans, who have been waiting for it.
It is going to go global. The Bad Boys have not visited London, Paris, or Asia either. We so are ready for it.
This comment has several readings. A new setting for a sequel will introduce fresh characters and a new set of events even though the path the directors choose for the series is unknown. Given the current popularity of the film, the series will surely keep blooming in an international context.
Apart from the great popularity of the franchise throughout the years, preliminary responses to Bad Boys: Ride Or Die have been overwhelmingly positive, implying that the sequel would probably be successful and thereby increase the likelihood of a fifth film being even more strong. Though it's still quite early days and nothing has been confirmed or approved thus far, it is indisputable that Bad Boys 5 has very bright future prospects.
