One of the beloved characters from the Bad Boys franchise is exiting but don&#039;t worry

Will Smith’s &#8216;Bad Boys 4&#8217; Has a Shocking Update as One of the Actor Leaves the Film Months Before Production Started

The Bad Boys franchise has surely carved its own thrilling path in the world of
action and witty banter. Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett became a
favorite duo among fans back in 1995 in Michael Bay’s first movie. And with Bad
Boys 4 coming up, the excitement among the fans is high for all the right
reasons.

The excitement of the fans might hit rock bottom due to recent developments in
the franchise. A seasoned actor, known for their impeccable chemistry in the
movie with Martin Lawrence, has made a surprising decision to bid adieu to the
franchise. 


AN UNEXPECTED DEPARTURE

It is not Will Smith or Martin Lawrence who are exciting the franchise. It is
Detective Burnett’s wife Theresa, played by Theresa Randle is leaving the
franchise. With Randle’s departure, another Smith replaces Theresa’s character.
Tasha Smith, from Empire, is the new Theresa, the loving and beloved wife of
Detective Burnett, as reported by Variety
[https://variety.com/2023/film/news/bad-boys-4-tasha-smith-cast-theresa-randle-1235602444/].
While this is an enormous blow for the fans because of their sentiments attached
to Randle, no one can undermine what Smith has to bring to the table.

While both Will Smith and Martin Lawrence confirmed their presence in the
upcoming movie, the plot and insides of the movie are still under wraps. The
movie will also star Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, and Eric Dane. Ever
since the slapping incident at the 2022 Oscars, Will Smith has appeared only in
one movie

WHAT DOES ‘BAD BOYS 4’ HAVE IN STORE FOR WILL SMITH AFTER OSCAR’S INCIDENT?

Bad Boys was Will Smith’s first successful movie. The franchise was a commercial
success and earned hundreds of millions. Ever since the Oscar fiasco, this will
be Smith’s second movie. Back in the time, Smith earned $2 million for the role.
As reported by Variety, Will Smith will b getting a paycheck of $25 million for
the fourth installment of the movie. Despite a long break since the slap
incident, Will Smith still remains the highest-paid movie star in Hollywood. 



With Netflix’s Fast and Loose also back in production, there is a high chance
that Smith will come clean and his work will speak for itself.
