Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are once again headlining another Bad Boys franchise movie and the former seems to have aced his performance.

Not Will Smith but Martin Lawrence Impressed the Directors the Most During ‘Bad Boys 4’ Shooting

Led by the hilarious duo of Will Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/] and Martin Lawrence, the Bad
Boys franchise became one of the most loved action comedies of the 90s. What
began with the 1995 flick, Bad Boys has now turned into an epic
three-movies-long saga. With Bad Boys II, which came out in 2003, the action got
even more explosive. Through Bad Boys for Life, the appeal of Smith and
Lawrence’s characters only grew. 

Now, three years after the previous installment in the franchise, the duo is set
to impress audiences with Bad Boys 4. One of them seems to have impressed the
film’s directors too.


MARTIN LAWRENCE ACES HIS PERFORMANCE IN BAD BOYS 4

In a podcast by The Playlist
[https://theplaylist.net/rebel-adil-el-arbi-bilall-fallah-on-their-musical-drama-about-islamic-radicalization-their-batgirl-experience-ms-marvel-more-the-discou-20230915/],
the hosts were joined by Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah who served as co-directors
on the fourth movie in the Bad Boys franchise. During the conversation, they
revealed the behind-the-scenes happenings at the movie’s set. Especially the
portrayal of Marcus Burnett at the hands of Martin Lawrence. In their opinion,
the 58-year-old took his acting to an even “higher level” than before.  



Although the film’s cast also includes an Emmy-nominated actress

the Blue Streak actor seems to have outshined them all in the directors’ eyes.
According to them, Bad Boys 4 will result in the “culmination” of Lawrence’s
character’s arc. For fans, this factor has made the anticipation for the movie
soar even higher.

Besides lauding Lawrence for his skills, El Arbi & Fallah also disclosed how
they decided to shift the franchise’s focus through Bad Boys 4.


WILL SMITH AND LAWRENCE’S NEXT BAD BOY FLICK WILL BE DIFFERENT

As quirky Miami detectives who often bend rules to catch criminals, Smith and
Lawrence infused humor into the two detectives’ adventures. Now the directors
have claimed that the latest addition to the series is going to have “way more
comedy.” Apparently, the purpose of Bad Boys 4 will be “to get people laughing”
through wittier banter. It will also feature more “dramatic” scenes to achieve
the same.

Besides getting more laughs out of this one, Will Smith is also walking away
with way more money

than he did with the previous three installments. Hopefully, the bigger paycheck
will reflect in his performance as well. Those awaiting the flick will be able
to catch Lawrence’s exceptional performance and Smith’s return to the franchise
on June 14 next year unless SAG-AFTRA causes a delay.
