Sony’s announcement of the official release date for the upcoming Bad Boys film indicates that it’s a franchise that continues to thrive.
Sony Pictures is gearing up to deliver another action-packed thrill with the highly-anticipated sequel, “Bad Boys 4,” as confirmed by Screenrant. A release date has been officially set, and fans can mark their calendars for June 14, 2024, making it a perfect treat for the Father’s Day weekend.
The chemistry of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will once again light up the screen as they reprise their roles as the witty and dynamic Miami detectives, Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett.
Despite ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, Sony remains dedicated to bringing this beloved buddy cop franchise back to the big screen. And this time, they’re stepping it up with a stellar cast that includes Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Núñez, Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd, and Rhea Seehorn, known for her work in “Better Call Saul.”

The decision to proceed with “Bad Boys 4” comes as no surprise, given the enormous success of its predecessor, “Bad Boys for Life,” which graced theaters in 2020. The film not only smashed box office records, grossing over $426 million against a $90 million budget, but it also garnered critical acclaim, becoming the first in the franchise to earn positive reviews.
The directorial duo of Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who previously helmed “Bad Boys for Life,” will be back in the director’s chairs for this fourth installment. Their impressive track record includes work on the well-received Ms. Marvel Disney Plus series and the previously shelved Batgirl movie under Warner Bros.
Fans will be delighted to learn that the waiting time for “Bad Boys 4” will be the shortest among any two films in the franchise. After the original “Bad Boys” hit theaters in 1995, followed by “Bad Boys 2” in 2003, audiences only had to wait four years for the adrenaline-pumping action to return in “Bad Boys for Life.” Now, the excitement is building once again as the fourth movie is set to hit the screens in just four years’ time.
