Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reunite for the fourth 'Bad Boys' installment directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah.
The boys are back at it! Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return to their roots in the first look for the fourth installment of the beloved Bad Boys franchise: Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
On Tuesday, Sony Pictures released the trailer showing Smith, 55, and Lawrence, 58, reuniting nearly 30 years after the first Bad Boys premiered in 1995. "We back in this thang!!" Smith captioned an Instagram post showing the trailer.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die follows the tried-and-true formula kicked off in its first film: Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) pull all kinds of hijinks as hardboiled detectives working for the Miami Police Department. The trailer starts with Lowrey and Burnett turning the tables on a Quickie Mart hold-up. But then comes the twist -- Miami's finest are now on the run.
After their boss, Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano), is framed as a longtime drug smuggler, it's up to Lowrey and Burnett to save everyone's lives and reputations.
Of course, what's an action film without the highway chases, helicopter crashes and undercover missions gone wrong? As a faithful sequel in the long-standing franchise, the Ride or Die trailer promises all that and more.
Bad Boys for Life directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah return to helm Ride or Die, with Smith and Lawrence also serving as producers.
The film also stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Nuñez, Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd, Jacob Scipio, Melanie Liburd and Tasha Smith, with an appearance from Tiffany Haddish.
Earlier this month, ET spoke with Hudgens about her return as weapons expert Kelly after she made her debut in 2020's Bad Boys for Life.
"I mean, it's just like such a classic beloved story and it's really neat being able to go on this journey with them and have so much time go by," the 35-year-old mom-to-be said of the upcoming film. "We really leaned into the fact that they are a bit older and things changing and they're not necessarily operating at the speed they once knew."
"It's fun to be around, and I think there's like a lot of belly laughs and [it's] action-packed," the actress added. "It's going to be a great movie."
Bad Boys: Ride or Die premieres exclusively in movie theaters on June 7.
