Spring 2024 continues to bring exciting news for movie lovers, as the highly anticipated fourth installment in the Bad Boys franchise, 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die', is set to hit theaters on June 7 [d0d770fd] [4849ded0]. The film, which was filmed in Miami, features South Florida actor Gabriel 'G-Rod' Rodriguez in a significant role [64f99bbf].
In an interview with WSVN 7News, Rodriguez discussed his role in the movie and expressed his excitement about being a part of the Bad Boys franchise. While he remained tight-lipped about the details of the movie, Rodriguez mentioned that his character was inspired by President Salinas from Mexico [64f99bbf].
Rodriguez also revealed that Eric Dane, known for his role in 'Grey's Anatomy', plays his boss in the film. Additionally, Vanessa Hudgens returns to the movie as Kelly [64f99bbf].
The trailer for 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' has been released, featuring Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) in another round of high-octane action and hilarious banter [7ebc9561]. The film promises to deliver the same explosive energy as the previous installment, but with a twist: this time, the duo is on the run. The trailer hints at a new crew of villains for the heroes to face, with plenty of firepower, explosions, and car chases [7ebc9561].
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return as Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, who get caught up in a messy situation when their former captain Conrad Howard is framed. They discover a bigger conspiracy involving drug cartels and the Miami Police Department. The film also stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, and Eric Dane. Joyner Lucas is set to make an appearance in the movie [4849ded0].
'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' marks Will Smith's return to the franchise since his infamous Oscars slap incident, and fans are eager to see him back in action alongside Martin Lawrence. The previous installment, 'Bad Boys for Life', revealed the shocking revelation that Armando, the antagonist, is actually Mike Lowrey's son, adding an emotional depth to the story [d0d770fd].
In 'Bad Boys for Life', the death of Captain Howard was a shocking loss that influenced the story significantly. Captain Howard's role in the franchise is not done yet, as he will appear in a much different capacity in the fourth movie. The corrupting power of revenge is a central theme, and Howard's death reunites the Bad Boys to make them a team again. Captain Howard's death was part of Isabel's revenge plan against Mike, as he was one of the organizing forces that led to her incarceration. Killing Captain Howard was Isabel's way of demonstrating that Mike's betrayal affected everyone in his orbit. Howard's death also adds to the character arcs of the two leads, Mike and Marcus, and motivates Marcus to join Mike in the hunt for the killers. Following Captain Howard's death, Miami PD undergoes changes and a new team, AMMO, is formed. The sequel, 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die', will further address Captain Howard's death and conflicts that arise from it. Despite being dead, Captain Howard will have an impactful role in 'Bad Boys 4', as he is posthumously framed for being a corrupt cop. The death of Captain Howard in 'Bad Boys for Life' sets up an interesting age dynamic between the aging Bad Boys and the younger cohort of detectives led by Rita [0d5d9180].
