“Bad boys, bad boys… what you gonna do? What you gonna do when they come for you?” Well, they’re coming, and we get to hear Will Smith and Martin Lawrence sing that song again on our screens soon enough.

The “Bad Boys” franchise is officially back as the pair reunite for a fourth installment of the film series.

Instagram Announcement From Smith and Lawrence

The exciting announcement was presented on Instagram. In the post, we see Will Smith, known as the character Mike Lowrey in the films, hop in his car and enthusiastically inform us he has something to tell his audience. He gets to his destination and stops in front of a door. Martin Lawrence, also known as the character Marcus Burnett, eventually opens the door.

The Untitled Name Of The Fourth Installment

They both confirm in the video that we will finally be receiving “Bad Boys 4,” even though it will not be called “Bad Boys 4 Life” — since that was the title for the third installment. The two actors reiterated they will always be bad boys for life, and the fourth movie is coming our way.

Sony Pictures confirmed in a Variety interview that the movie is in early pre-production. We have yet to hear a formal title for the film, but after the success of the third film, I’m sure it will be a hit no matter what it is called.

Success From “Bad Boys For Life”

“Bad Boys For Life,” the third installment released in 2o20, earned $426.5 million at the worldwide box office. This was one of the last pre-pandemic era blockbusters and went on to win a couple of People’s Choice Awards. This film proved to be much bigger than expected. It was 2020‘s highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office.

During a time that destroyed movie sales because of the pandemic, the “Bad Boys” took home over $204 million in the United States.
