Will and and Martin made their respective debuts as Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett in the first Bad Boys movie, which was released in 1995.

The pair went on to reprise their roles in Bad Boys II and Bad Boys For Life, which were released in 2003 and 2020, respectively.

It was announced that development on the fourth film in the action-comedy franchise was underway just after the release of the third movie.

The film follows the story of two police officers who go rogue to defend the city of Miami. 

Smith confirmed that both he and Lawrence would return for the new movie in February of 2023, when it was also revealed that El Arbi and Fallah, who directed the third installment in the franchise, would also direct the fourth film.

Production on the new film commenced in April of last year, with much of shooting taking place in Atlanta and Miami.

Although filming was briefly paused due to the onset of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, the cast and crew reconvened earlier this year and wrapped in March.
