Will Smith & Martin Lawrence Are Back On The Case In New ‘Bad Boys: Ride Or Die’ Trailer

Seriously, how did Bad Boys producers not look far enough to save the title Bad Boys 4 Life until now? Instead, they wasted it on the franchise’s third film, which was released in 2020, a lengthy seventeen years after the previous sequel. But fans of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s buddy cop action flicks won’t have to wait so long, as Bad Boys: Ride or Die hits theaters this summer.

Once again directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, their latest case finds Marcus and Mike investigating the death of their beloved captain, who was being framed for corruption. Well, I guess it’ll be a short work day for co-star Joe Pantoliano!

Also in the cast are Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Núñez, DJ Khaled, Jacob Scipio, Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd Jacob, Melanie Liburd, Tasha Smith, and Tiffany Haddish.

Here’s the brief 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.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die hits theaters on June 7th, and who knows? It might not be the last ride for these guys just yet.
