Sony has just unveiled an electrifying new trailer for “Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die,” marking the return of Will Smith as Mike Lowrey and Martin Lawrence as Marcus Burnett. The film, a sequel to “Bad Boys for Life,” sees directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah once again at the helm, with its theatrical release set for June 7.
The anticipation builds as Lowrey and Burnett flip the script during a convenience store robbery. This time around, their superior, Captain Howard, portrayed by Joe Pantoliano, finds himself wrongfully accused of being a veteran drug trafficker. The narrative promises an adrenaline-pumping ride filled with explosive car chases, dramatic helicopter crashes, and the neon-lit allure of strip clubs, all set to propel the box office to new heights following the industry’s recovery from recent strikes.
Echoing the success of the “Ghostbusters” series, which recently surpassed the $1 billion mark for Sony, “Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die” is poised to achieve similar acclaim. The franchise has already amassed $841 million globally, and with this latest installment, expectations are high for it to further cement its box office legacy.
The screenplay, penned by Chris Bremner, boasts a production team including heavyweights such as Smith, Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, and Doug Belgrad. The film features a star-studded cast, including Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Nuñez, Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd, Jacob Scipio, Melanie Liburd, Tasha Smith, Tiffany Haddish, and Joe Pantoliano, promising a blend of high-octane action and compelling storytelling.
Executive producers for the film include Martin Lawrence, Bremner, Barry Waldman, Mike Stenson, James Lassiter, and Jon Mone, all of whom are set to bring their unique vision to this thrilling continuation of the “Bad Boys” saga.
