Is there a Bad Boys 4 release date?
Bad Boys 4 will release on June 7, 2024.
The release date of the movie was pushed forward by a week from its original June 14 target.
Smith and Lawrence officially announced the sequel on January 31, 2023, with Smith posting a video on Instagram alongside his co-star.
"Hey everyone, I have some exciting news to share. Before you continue scrolling, take a moment to listen," he exclaims, while starting to play the familiar tune of ‘Shake Ya Tailfeather’ from the Bad Boys II soundtrack. "You're in for a treat, trust me on this one."
Lawrence and he meet at Lawrence's door, excitedly announcing that the fourth movie is currently in the works. "It's about that time!" Lawrence exclaims.

No other major cast members have been confirmed at the time of writing, but there are a few reasonable guesses we can make. Joe Pantoliano will not return as Captain Conrad Howard, as he was murdered in the third film. If we were betting, we’d say it’s basically guaranteed we’ll see Jacob Scipio as Armando Aretas Lowrey, Mike’s son whom he shared with Isabel (Kate del Castillo), who was killed in Bad Boys For Life.
Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah will return to direct, with Chris Bremner writing the script. Jerry Bruckheimer will also serve as a producer.
Bad Boys 4 plot: What is it about?
The plot of Bad Boys Ride or Die has not been officially confirmed, but it is expected to follow Mike and Marcus as they tackle a new case with the AMMO team. Additionally, viewers can anticipate seeing Mike navigate his relationship with Armando.
Following the events of Bad Boys For Life, Rita ascended to the role of captain at the Miami PD, while Mike and Marcus assumed leadership of the AMMO unit. In a post-credits scene, Mike extended a redemption opportunity to Armando by offering him a position within AMMO, which Armando ultimately accepted.
