Its been a long time coming, but the third installment of the Bad Boys franchise is finally on the way.

Martin Lawrence did a new interview with GQ and offered the “most concise explanation” for the 17-year delay. “The script wasn’t right,” he said. “And Will, to his credit, refused to do the movie until the script was right. It wouldn’t have been a good movie. We didn’t want that. We wanted to do a sequel where people would go, ‘Oh, man, that’s what I’m talking about. It just gets better.’”

Will Smith is notorious for having heavy creative input in any project that he’s involved in. This is the same reason why director Joe Carnahan eventually decided to part ways with the movie in April of last year.

During the interview, Lawrence spoke about people constantly asking him for an update of the film and offered some great life advice. “People were asking me, and I had no answer for them,” he said. “I was asking myself that question.”

Bad Boys for Life is slated to be released on January 17th, 2020. Are y’all ready?

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have finally began shooting Bad Boys for Life in Atlanta on Monday.

Will and Martin, or should we say Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, respectively, reprised their roles at the witty, crime-stopping Miami cops in the Bad Boys third installment.

The original film was released in 1995, and Bad Boys II came out in 2003. Fast forward 25 years later and Bad Boys For Life is getting ready to be released in January 2020.

Both stars are in their 50s but from the looks of the pictures below, they’re still capable of getting on bad once the director yells action.
