Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back in Bad Boys For Life trailer

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Sony Pictures Releasing has let an official trailer for BAD BOYS FOR LIFE starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence off the chain!

In the new film, the Miami PD and its elite AMMO teams attempt to take down Armando Armas (Scipio), head of a drug cartel. Armando is a cold-blooded killer with a vicious, taunting nature. He is committed to the work of the cartel and is dispatched by his mother to kill Mike (Smith). Meanwhile, Paola Nuñez (THE SON, RUNNER) will take on the role of Rita, a tough and funny criminal psychologist who is the newly appointed head of AMMO and Mike’s former girlfriend – better known as the "one who got away."

In addition to Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reprising their roles as Agents Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, respectively, Joe Pantoliano will also return as the cuss-happy Captain Howard. The trio will then be joined by Vanessa Hudgens (SPRING BREAKERS, BEASTLY), Alexander Ludwig (VIKINGS, FINAL GIRLS), and Charles Melton (AMRICAN HORROR STORY, RIVERDALE), who will combine their talents to form an elite police unit that clashes with Lowrey and Burnett's old school approach to fighting crime. Jacob Scipio (HUNTER KILLER, BOB THE BUILDER) will also star as Armando Armas.

Belgium filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are your BAD BOYS FOR LIFE directors, who'll be taking their camera cues from a screenplay penned by Peter Craig, Joe Carnahan, and Chris Bremmer.

I don't know about you, but it sure feels good to see Smith and Lawrence back in the saddle for another over-the-top mission. For me, the BAD BOYS franchise has always been about the "Ride or Die" duo's tit-for-tat chemistry, and this chapter of the series looks to have that in spades. There's also much to be said about the trailer's sleek action bits, which look to be pushing Smith and Lawrence to their limits (both physically and emotionally). If this is indeed Lowrey and Burnett's final team-up, it looks as if they'll be going out with a bang when BAD BOYS FOR LIFE lands in theaters on January 17, 2020.
