The highly anticipated Bad Boys 4 has officially wrapped filming, as confirmed by a recent set image featuring stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Following the success of Bad Boys For Life in 2020, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are back to lead the fourth installment in the action-packed franchise.
The upcoming sequel sees the return of Smith as Mike Lowery and Lawrence as Marcus Burnett, reprising their iconic roles from the franchise's inception in 1995. Smith took to Instagram to share the news, posting a photo of him and Lawrence fist-bumping with the caption, 'WRAPPED! Nothin' but magic every time I'm with my guy. See ya'll June 7 for Bad Boys 4.'
While there has been no official confirmation on whether Bad Boys 4 will be the final chapter in the series, both Smith and Lawrence have not hinted at retiring their characters. The success of the upcoming film may play a crucial role in determining the future of the franchise, as previous installments' performance has influenced the decision-making process.
Bad Boys For Life, released in 2020, was a surprise hit critically and commercially, earning $426.5 million worldwide. The positive reception breathed new life into the franchise, setting the stage for a potential continuation. With Smith at 55 and Lawrence at 58, the duo still has plenty of action left in them for another sequel if Bad Boys 4 resonates with audiences.
The ending of Bad Boys For Life left the door open for exciting future storylines, and it's likely that the upcoming film will follow suit, offering closure while setting the stage for new adventures. Whether Bad Boys 4 marks the end of the series remains to be seen, but the film is one step closer to hitting theaters, building anticipation among fans.
