Will Smith has said in the past that he had an idea for Bad Boys 3, but added that the reason the film wasn't getting made is because director Michael Bay) 'is too expensive now.' And it looks like the Bad Boys sequels will happen with Bay in the directors chair, which will disappoint some fans of the franchise.Ĭarnahan seems like a solid choice to take over as he has experience with big-budget action, thanks to The A-Team, and his resume is full of other macho thrillers like The Grey, Smoking Aces, and Narc. We have a lot of faith and hope that we'll do it.įans have been asking for a third Bad Boys film for a while.

It's just trying to get everybody together to make it. And then, Will will come back and be real excited about it, and Sony will say, 'Well, maybe it's not the time for this.' And then, Ride Along came out and was a big hit, and now they're all excited to make the movie, but Will is off doing something else. It's so funny because we'll get Sony real excited to make the movie, and then Will is off doing two movies. Novelist Peter Craig had previously worked on the threequel. At that time, Michael Bay wasn't involved in the project, despite making the first two movies. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer said in April 2014 that Bad Boys 3 was a victim of bad timing: Last we heard, David Guggenheim ( Safe House ) was hired to write a script for Bad Boys 3, with the hope is that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence would sign to return.

In July, Lawrence publicly called upon his Bad Boys co-star Will Smith to make a third film happen.

I just talked to Jerry Bruckheimer yesterday and he said its real, they're working on the script, they're getting close and it all looks good.' In June 2015, we learned that writer-director Joe Carnahan ( The Grey) was circling the action sequel, while Will Smith and Martin Lawrence were being courted to return. Carnahan was in early talks to rewrite the script by David Guggenheim ( Safe House), and possibly direct.Ĭomedian/actor Martin Lawrence appeared on Conan in August 2014 and announced that Bad Boys 3 was in the works: 'I believe so. Sony dated a dozen upcoming films which included the Bad Boys sequels: Bad Boys 3 is scheduled to hit theaters on February 17th 2017, while Bad Boys 4 will hit theaters two years later: on July 3rd 2019. Sony has officially announced that they will be releasing Bad Boys 3 in February 2017 and Bad Boys 4 in July 2019.
