Will Axel Foley Meet the Bad Boys in a Beverly Hills Cop 4 Crossover?

Beverly Hills Cop 4directors Adil El Abi and Bilall Fallah are teasing a possibleBad Boyscrossover. The long-awaited sequel to theBeverly Hills Copfranchise has been in the works for some time now, but it was announced a few months back that it will be a Netflix project with Eddie Murphy returning as Axel Foley. Even with some forward momentum, the project was affected by the world’s state of affairs, much like every other Hollywood project in development at the moment.

Adil El Abi and Bilall Fallah were behind the camera forBad Boys For Life, which saw Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reunite for some box office success. It doesn’t look like the directors have any plans to return to theBad Boysfranchise, but they are still very interested. When asked in a recent interview which character they would love to see team up with Smith’s Mike Lowrey and Lawrence’s Marcus Burnett, they simultaneously shouted, “Axel Foley!”

Pictures ofEddie Murphy, Wesley Snipes, Martin Lawrence, and Will Smith were shared on social media back in October, which led to speculation about some cameos inBad Boys For LifeandComing 2 America. But, it appears something bigger could be on the horizon, if Adil El Abi and Bilall Fallah get their wish. “Axel Foley, we thought about that already!” Fallah said when asked about the aforementionedBeverly Hills CopandBad Boyscrossover. He went on to say, “Because it would be cool if there’s like reallyBeverly Hills CopandBad Boystogether in the same universe because it’s the Jerry Bruckheimer universe, so…”

Jerry Bruckheimer is a producerfor both theBeverly Hills CopandBad Boysfranchises, so it’s not totally out of the realm of possibility. However, there are no concrete plans at the moment to make it happen. Right now, the focus for Adil El Abi and Bilall Fallah is on gettingBeverly Hills Cop 4rolling. “There’s a screenwriter whose writing a screenplay now at this point,” El Arbi says. “So yeah, we’re waiting for first draft and see what happens then.” Hopefully they are able to get the project off of the ground soon.

For now,Coming 2 Americais Eddie Murphy’s next movie hitting theaters. As of this writing, it is still scheduled to open at the end of this year. Murphy and crew have not given any updates in a while, but it is believed that the sequel is well into the post-production process at this point in time. With that being said, it would not be surprising to see the long-awaited movie get delayed until next year, along with the rest of the 2020 movies that have vanished from the upcoming release announcements. The interview with Adil El Abi and Bilall Fallah was originally conducted byComicBook.
