After years of speculation 16 years in reality Bad Boys 3 is eventually happening. Stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are reuniting for the long-awaited third installment in the franchise, now titled’Bad Boys For Life.’ The film will follow Smith’s playboy detective Mike Lowrey and Lawerence’s family guy cop Marcus Burnett as they work a case for the Miami Police Department.
Though the details are still sketchy about what to expect from the plotline, we’ve spent the past couple of hours trawling the world wide web to bring together all you want to learn concerning Bad Boys 3.
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back — confirmed
A Bad Boys sequel without both of these two only would not be a Bad Boys sequel, so the 2 celebrities took to Instagram last November to formally declare their involvement in the project. An exceedingly excited Smith continues to shout, “It’s official, Bad Boys 3 is occurring, it is official,” while Lawerence laughs in the background.
They must do something right to evaluate a gig while neither of these gentlemen is household names yet. Having previously led the offense drama Dark and having worked on the FX series Snowfall, big things are expected from the duo. With producer Jerry Bruckheimer in their corner and a capable cast, I think the franchise is in good hands with those two, especially as they’ve been connected to the rumored Beverly Hills Cop 4.

Having previously led the offense play Black and having worked on the FX series Snowfall, big things are expected from the duo.

…and DJ Khaled is playing an unknown character
Like the two directors, Jacob Scipio is not a high profile title but someone must have impressed, securing the role of Armando Armas. Mexican actress Paola Nuñez was cast playing with Lowrey’s former girlfriend who is now head of the Miami Police Department’s elite AMMO unit.
Scipio and Nuñez are not the only new faces to look, with Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), Alexander Ludwig (Vikings) and Charles Melton (Riverdale) set to play the trio of representatives that constitute the AMMO unit.
Joe Pantoliano returns as Captain Howard that is frustrated, adding some much need continuity into the film.
The plot involves drug dealers and assassination attempts
The official synopsis for Bad Boys For Life worries Miami PD and its elite AMMO team, headed by Nuñez’s character, attempting to take down Scipio’s villain from the name of Armando Armas, that has been sent by his mother to kill Mike Lowery.
The movies will focus on Smith and Lawerence’s older cop energetic who have to team up with the elite AMMO group to take down cartel head Armas. You should expect a wisecracking Lawrence epic gun battles and explosive action set pieces. Fingers crossed.
Filming has started
Filming of the threequel began with Smith taking to confirm shooting was. Smith also revealed he and Lawrence rewatched the first two movies before shooting to get themselves reacquainted with their characters.
