The story of Bad Boys 4 is, as usual, rather secondary. Instead, the focus is on cracking action sequences and the extremely entertaining buddy-cop dynamic between Smith and Lawrence. In the fourth part they also receive powerful support from stars such as Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Nuñez and Jacob Scipio.

Is Bad Boys 5 coming too?

As of now, another Bad Boys sequel has not been officially announced. The action hit was once again a success at the worldwide box office, grossing over $400 million.

Bad Boys 5 will also depend heavily on whether Will Smith and Martin Lawrence want to return to their star roles. In the Entertainment Weekly interview in June 2024, the stars talked about their relationship can basically introduce further parts. But there would have to be a concrete reason or a good script so that the future of the Bad Boys series is secured.
