Bad Boys 3is happening in a big way, and it promises to take the action over the top. While he hasn’t been officially confirmed to direct yet by Sony Pictures, action maestroJoe Carnahanis already in the previsualization stage for the movie, and is now teasing a freeway chase involving a motorcycle on his officialTwitterpage. This may be all the confirmation we need that the man behind such action favorites asSmokin' Aces,The Greyand the big screenA-Teamadaptation is joining forces with returning starsMartin LawrenceandWill Smith. Though, he won’t reveal the identity of the man on the motorcycle, only saying this.
“…who is this man? …and how bad is he?”
Sony announced last year thatBad Boys 3will arrive on August 16, 2025, withBad Boys 4set for August 03, 2025. During a radio interview withBBC Radio 1Xtrathis past week, Will Smith finally confirmed that both he and Martin Lawrence will be back as Mike Lowry and Marcus Burnett. Here’s what he had to say about the fateful reunion.
“I sawMartina few weeks ago. I hadn’t seen him for about two years, and we just looked at each other. We hugged and in that moment we both knew we were making anotherBad Boys. So we’re definitely doing another one.”
This sequel has been in development for several years, but a report from August claimed that Will Smith hadn’t signed on yet. While it still hasn’t been officially announced that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are officially signed on, this long-awaited action thriller is closer to happening now than it has ever been in the past decade. It isn’t known if any other franchise stars such asGabrielle Union, Theresa Randle andJoe Pantolianowill come back at this time.
Another big question mark for Bad Boys 3 is whether or notMichael Baywill be involved in any way. 1995’sBad Boysmarked the filmmaker’sdirectorial debut, and he came back eight years later to direct the follow-upBad Boys IIas well.Michael Bay’s career has certainly skyrocketed since then, directing the lucrativeTransformersfranchise, and, most recently, his war drama13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, which debuted last month. It isn’t known ifMichael Bayeven has any desire to return to the franchise, 12 years after he madeBad Boys II.
With a February 2017 release date already set, production will certainly have to begin sometime in the near future, but it isn’t known ifJoe Carnahanhas finished work on the script or not.
