Nearly thirty years old and comprising four films, the “Bad Boys” franchise, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, is still going strong. And despite the actor’s strikes that looked like it might delay it, the fourth film in the series, “Bad Boys: Ride Or Die,” will be ready and will arrive this summer.
‘Ride Or Die’ is once again directed by filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who directed 2020’s “Bad Boys for Life.” Since then, their “Bad Boys” work has gained them the attention of the superhero world, and they directed episodes of “Ms. Marvel” and the “Batgirl” film that Warner Bros. canceled last year.

Here’s the short, very-short-on-details synopsis:
This summer, the world’s favorite Bad Boys are back with their iconic mix of edge-of-your seat action and outrageous comedy but this time with a twist: Miami’s finest are now on the run.
Written by Chris Bremner, “Bad Boys: Ride Or Die” is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Will Smith, Chad Oman, and Doug Belgrad. Sony Pictures Releasing is open the film on June 7, 2024. Watch the new trailer below.
