Sony has officially announced that they will be releasing Bad Boys 3 in February 2017 and Bad Boys 4 in July 2019. More details after the jump.
Not much more is known at this time. Sony dated a dozen upcoming films which included the Bad Boys sequels: Bad Boys 3 is scheduled to hit theaters on February 17th 2017, while Bad Boys 4 will hit theaters two years later: on July 3rd 2019.
In June 2015, we learned that writer-director Joe Carnahan (The Grey) was circling the action sequel, while Will Smith and Martin Lawrence were being courted to return. Carnahan was in early talks to rewrite the script by David Guggenheim (Safe House), and possibly direct.
Comedian/actor Martin Lawrence appeared on Conan in August 2014 and announced that Bad Boys 3 was in the works:
“I believe so. Yes. I just talked to Jerry Bruckheimer yesterday and he said its real, they’re working on the script, they’re getting close and it all looks good.”
In July, Lawrence publicly called upon his Bad Boys co-star Will Smith to make a third film happen. Last we heard, David Guggenheim (Safe House) was hired to write a script for Bad Boys 3, with the hope is that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence would sign to return. Novelist Peter Craig had previously worked on the threequel. At that time, Michael Bay wasn’t involved in the project, despite making the first two movies. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer said in April 2014 that Bad Boys 3 was a victim of bad timing:
It’s so funny because we’ll get Sony real excited to make the movie, and then Will [Smith] is off doing two movies. And then, Will will come back and be real excited about it, and Sony will say, ‘Well, maybe it’s not the time for this.’ And then, Ride Along came out and was a big hit, and now they’re all excited to make the movie, but Will is off doing something else. It’s just trying to get everybody together to make it. But, we’re working on the script. We have a lot of faith and hope that we’ll do it.
Fans have been asking for a third Bad Boys film for a while. Will Smith has said in the past that he had an idea for Bad Boys 3, but added that the reason the film wasn’t getting made is because director Michael Bay) “is too expensive now.” And it looks like the Bad Boys sequels will happen with Bay in the directors chair, which will disappoint some fans of the franchise.
Carnahan seems like a solid choice to take over as he has experience with big-budget action, thanks to The A-Team, and his resume is full of other macho thrillers like The Grey, Smoking Aces, and Narc. His last feature was Stretch, a dark comedy-thriller that went straight to VOD. Outside of movies, Carnahan most recently worked on episodes of The Blacklist and State of Affairs. He signed on earlier this year to rewrite and direct DreamWorks’ Motorcade.

Bad Boys is probably one of the greatest movies..... ever.
Ok maybe not, but it is one of the better action movie series in the past 20 years. It's been 12 years since we last saw Martin Lawrence and Will Smith together on screen, but that's about to change REAL soon.
Sony has officially announced that Bad Boys 3 will be released on February 2017. But wait...there's more. They've ALSO confirmed that Bad Boys 4 will be released in July 2019.
Unfortunately for fans it doesn't look like Michael Bay will return to the directors chair of the film. Instead it seemes like writer/director Joe Carnahan who has done films such as Smokin Aces, and The Grey.
The last film Bad Boys II was released in 2003 an made over $273 million worldwide.
Do you think Gabrielle Union would be back?
Are you excited?
-
Saw that ? earlier. If Danny Glover and Mel Gibson can do it why can't they. Looking forward to it.
-
Will watch 3 for sure. Depending on how good it is, I may see 4.
-
I'm ok with Bay not coming back
-
Unfortunately? Hell I thought muthafuccas would be rejoicing Bay isn't directing.
I'm in btw. -
Why is this stickied?
-
Both movies were so well done. They don't get the acclaim they should because of Hollywood's race issue but Bad Boys 2 could have easily come out last year and would keep up with any action/comedy/cop movie out and that includes the MCU movies.
The first one came out in 95. Pac was still alive when this movie came out.
I'm looking forward to it, with or without Bay. I wouldn't mind him executive producing it. Yes over the tv show The Last Ship and show show is off the chain. -
Already a thread on this
-
dope. not really concerned with bay not coming back, smokin aces and the grey were good movies so I think the writer/director will be capable
-
Michael Bay is a ? director so even better.
-
2017 gonna be a goat year for movies. Damn.
Guardians of the galaxy 2
Star wars
World war z 2
Wonder woman
Thor
Equalizer 2
Avatar 2
Justice league
War of the planet of the apes
Furious 8
Ghost in the shell
Wolverine 2

And that's just the sequels and blockbuster ? . Doesn't even take into account the original and more critically acclaimed films that will drop that year also.

They need a fresh director (the dude who did the raid maybe) and i really menacing villian(s) (maybe a network of semi young tech geniuses moving weight) or an ? Older but smarter cop.
Javier Bardem or Christoph Waltz never gets old. -
? 2019 nofucks given about both actors old as ? now.. Martin already 50
-
Doesn't even seem like Will has signed on yet. I'm jolding out until word comes in on that, otherwise this ? could easily be starring Kevin Hart and Tyrese.

That movie made it seem like that was the only damn song on that soundtrack...and it's already been threads about how mediocre Bad Boys 2 is. It's entertaining but it's about 45 mins too damn long -
I swore off Super Will movies until he plays a legit villain, but depending how this and Suicide Squad goes, I'll give him and Marty-Mar a run when Part 4 drops. This franchise is no better than the Expendables, but I ? with that series heavy, so I'm with BB3 just off the strength.
Hopefully it's funny as ? , just like part 2 was. -
Bad boys>>>> lethal weapon
-
Lethal weapon 4 was the best.
-
I think they should expend all their energies on making a grind finale with Part 3 and cosign the news of Will signing on.
