They say that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. In this particular case, Will Smith's career took off when he starred in the first Bad Boys film in 1995. Now that his career needs some serious repair, he's turning to his good friend, Martin Lawrence, to help fix it.
In what has to be the most obvious choice for Will Smith's first major post-slap film - Emancipation was filmed before the incident with Chris Rock - Smith and Lawrence went on TikTok to confirm that Bad Boys 4 is indeed happening. The duo of Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are returning to direct Bad Boys 4 after the previous film made over $426.5 million at the global box office.
