Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have reunited in the explosive first trailer for Bad Boys 4.
The trailer, which premiered on Tuesday (March 26), features the Fresh Prince rocking a white tux, The Black Knight navigating a gun to his head and Meek Mill and Drake‘s “Going Bad,” which soundtracks the teaser.
The film, officially titled Bad Boys: Ride or Die, is set to be released on June 7 courtesy of Sony Pictures.
Check out the trailer below.
Earlier this month, Will Smith fueled excitement for the new film when he revealed that filming had wrapped.
Big Willy Style took to Instagram and shared a photo of him and co-star Martin Lawrence on set, adding in the caption that the film was locked and loaded for a summer release.
“WRAPPED! Nothin’ but Magic every time I’m with my guy. See y’all June 7 for @BADBOYS 4!” he wrote.
Smith also shared a carousel of him with Grammy-winning singer/musician Jon Batiste, who stopped by the set to check out the last day of filming.
“@jonbatiste came to see Me & @martinlawrence on our last day of shooting @badboys. I don’t remember what I was talkin’ about but there was a whole lotta Hand-Talkin’ goin’ on!” he joked.
Fans were quick to speculate about the movie’s plot in the comments section, with many poking fun at Smith’s beef with Chris Rock.
“It will be an extreme plot twist if Chris Rock is the villain,” one user wrote.
Another noted the remarkably short gap between the completion of filming and the movie being released: “Lol damn filming wrapped in March and the movie dropping in June? Whole movie probably AI [crying laughter emoji].”
Despite how quickly the film is scheduled to hit theaters, Will Smith has been teasing Bad Boys 4 for some time.
The Oscar winner initially shared news of the movie in January 2023, posting a video on social media where he yelled, “It’s about that time!” as he pulled up to Martin Lawrence’s house while blasting s Nelly, Diddy and Murphy Lee’s “Shake Ya Tailfeather” from the Bad Boys II soundtrack.
“It’s about that time. It’s official. Bad Boys for life,” Smith emphatically stated before he and Lawrence both realized 2020’s installment already used that title for the movie. “We shouldn’t have called it that, though. The three was the ‘E’ but this is Bad Boys 4.”
