Back in 1995 Will Smith and Martin Lawrence teamed up for the action flick Bad Boys and was a smash hit. I loved the film and was hoping it wasn’t the last time we would see them team up. Thankfully in 2003 they reteamed for the aptly titled follow-up Bad Boys II that stepped its game up for more action. After years of talk of the third film Bad Boys For Life finally hit theaters in 2020. No long waiting this time around as the next chapter of the popular series, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, is finally on its way co-starring Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Núñez, and Joe Pantoliano. New additions to the cast include Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd, Rhea Seehorn and Tasha Smith replacing Theresa Randle from the first three films.

 

No official synopsis just yet, but it looks to put Mike and Marcus framed and on the run. The trailer looks like it might be toning down some of the heft of the previous entry and pushing some of the comedy a bit more. I prefer the gritty tone of this franchise with the injected humor of their banter, so hope it doesn’t get lost in too much comedy.

 

While we will have to wait until June 7th to see the latest chapter in theaters, you can check out the first trailer here now from Sony.
