Will Smith has confirmed that the green light has yet to be given for Bad Boys 3. It is expected that Smith is to reprise his role as detective Mike Lowrey alongside Martin Lawrence as his partner Marcus Burnett in the third installment which has been in development for the last six years.
“We’ve been thinking about it. There is a screenplay, but I don’t know how far (it is at),” Will said.
He added: “We haven’t decided to make it yet but everybody’s into it so it could happen.”
Both of the Bad Boys films, which were directed by Michael Bay and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, have been box office hits since the first film was released in 1995.
Martin hinted that the third film would get the go-ahead when he appeared on Conan O’Brien talk show last August, and Jerry said in July 2014 “Well, we’re working on an outline right now. Hopefully we’ll get a screenplay in the next three months. And that will become a movie I hope.”
