Will Smith & Martin Eye More ‘Bad Boys’ Films
Many action actors have reached the point where their timeless roles are taken on by newer faces; for instance, Tom Hardy has stepped into Mel Gibson’s shoes as Mad Max while Paul Mescal will be the latest Gladiator, taking over from Russell Crowe. But not all icons of the genre are ready to relinquish their hold. Harrison Ford has asserted that Indiana Jones will retire with him, and Tom Cruise has his sights set on tackling missions until he’s an octogenarian. Echoing this sentiment are Bad Boys duo Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, who earnestly believe the franchise could go on indefinitely.

In a recent red-carpet conversation for their latest project, Bad Boys: Ride Or Die, Smith hinted while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter that they may consider gifting the franchise to a younger generation after possibly starring in one more film. “You know, we might have one more in us before we hand it off, but we got a lot of young seeds in there,” he shared. But Lawrence chimed in humorously, “The back ain’t went out quite yet, so before we do that, we ain’t gonna pass it off just yet.”
