American actor Martin Lawrence shared a new update on his upcoming movie "Bad Boys 4", featuring Will Smith.
After Smith assaulted Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, projects tied to him have stalled. Netflix’s "Fast And Loose", which was slated to star the actor, has halted production indefinitely. However, the sequel will not be among these projects.
During an interview with EBONY, Martin addressed the speculations of whether or not, in the aftermath of the slapping incident, the two icons would join forces for the fourth installment in the "Bad Boys" franchise.
Lawrence pointed out that he had no plans of walking away from his friend and colleague and canceling the project.
The comedian pointed out that things are moving forward with the Sony mega-hit and noted: "We got one more at least."
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told Collider that a script for the movie was already in the works back in 2020. However, writer Chris Bremmer is still helping develop whatever comes next.
