EXCLUSIVE: Based on the success of the global trailer launch yesterday for Sony’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, the Culver City studio has announced that its sequel Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 will open on Friday, July 5, 2019. Spidey essentially pushes Sony’s Bad Boys 4 off that Independence Day stretch. The Will Smith-Martin Lawrence fourquel, which was scheduled to open on July 3 of that year, isn’t falling back, rather zooming forward to Memorial Day weekend May 24, 2019.

On that four-day holiday weekend, Bad Boys 4 will grab the older guys, while Warner Bros. vies for the kids with Minecraft (that is if the game is still popular then). Meanwhile on July 3, Wednesday, Spidey’s only entanglement is with an untitled Universal Illumination movie.

These pics’ previous installments — haven’t even come out yet. Spider-Man: Homecoming opens on July 7 next year. It reps the first time that Sony has been able to include the superhero with the extended Marvel universe that Disney owns. As you saw in last night’s trailer, there’s even more of Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man.

Bad Boys for Life aka Bad Boys 3 opens on Jan. 12, 2018. It’s directed by Joe Carnahan.

A third Bad Boys movie has been in the ether, so to speak, for a number of years, but it finally materialized recently with Sony setting Smokin’ Aces and The Grey filmmaker Joe Carnahan to write and direct. The follow-up, titled Bad Boys for Life, will see Will Smith and Martin Lawrence returning to star, but thus far we haven’t heard much else in the way of details. So when Collider’s own Steve Weintraub recently spoke with Carnahan for an exclusive interview, the conversation obviously turned to what fans can expect from Bad Boys 3.

Carnahan revealed that the script is currently undergoing a rewrite, and once that comes in and meets everyone’s approval, they’ll be going into prep “ASAP,” reiterating that Smith and Lawrence are definitely “in” for the project. As for what the story might entail, Carnahan said he’s not ignoring the time that has passed between Bad Boys 2 and this new film:

“We’re certainly not ignoring that, and that is a part of it. What happens 15 years on and where’s your life at now and what did you foresee yourself, it’s really rich material in that way. That part I’m really excited about, it’s a lot of exploring where are they now.”

The Stretch filmmaker said that for him, it wasn’t so much the previous two films that excited him about directing Bad Boys 3, but the chemistry between Smith and Lawrence:

“It’s a very grounded, as much as it can be, Miami narcotics/robbery/homicide cops [story], two lifelong friends, these things are all appealing to me. That and knowing and doing something that I thought would be interesting, that would be an interesting challenge. Because those other films are Michael Bay’s and if you’re gonna come in you really gotta take it, you really gotta own that franchise. I came at it from a screenwriter’s standpoint and wrote my own version of the story, which is always exciting and fun. That’s what it was, being able to, as a writer, put my own spin on that world, more than anything else.”

When it comes to the film’s Big Bad, Carnahan didn’t want to reveal too much, but he did tease that there will be multiple antagonists:

“It wasn’t challenging [coming up with the antagonist]. It should’ve been. You’ve got all these years in the game and you’ve made all these enemies, you’ve accumulated all this, so in that respect it would be easy. But I don’t wanna say anything else because I don’t wanna ruin the delicacy of who our antagonist is, because I think it’s very cool. It’s not one person. It’s a multi-headed hydra, I’ll say that. It works beautifully.”

As for the development process and having the script undergo rewrites, Carnahan had high praise for his working relationship with Smith:

“It’s been a pretty centralized process. I’ve been writing this thing for the better part of a year. And at times, Will and I have discussed this too, it’s nice to drop back and just worry about the directing part of it and have people come to you, so that you don’t burn out completely. We know we have to satisfy X, Y, and Z, let me take a shot at this, and see if it comes back and see if you like it, see if it works. In that respect, Will’s been wonderful and a lot of fun, and always a willing participant, always welcoming… It’s a constant search for making it better and better and better. And I applaud that, that’s a hell of a trait to have, because he could be the other way, like whatever, but that’s not his style.”

Finally, while a lot of action films nowadays are PG-13, pushing the boundaries of movie violence within a non-R rating, Carnahan is pretty confident Bad Boys 3 will be rated R:

“I think it’s gonna be R. I don’t think we’re trying to make a PG-13 version of Bad Boys. We haven’t discussed the rating, but both the other films were R-rated; Deadpool made $800 million globally and was an R-rated film, the new Wolverine is R-rated. I think these things don’t factor it, my theory is people gravitate more toward R-rated films than PG-13, I think the PG-13 thing is betwixt and between now. It’s not fundamentally rooted in any metric where you can go, ‘Okay, we can prove that this had success because it was PG-13.’ Look at the Matrix trilogy, that was wildly successful and they were all R-rated films. Unless things change, I think we’re making a Bad Boys film and that’s an R-rated movie.”

With a film as big as Bad Boys 3, it’s understandable that it’s taken this long for it to get off the ground, but it sounds like there’s serious momentum behind the follow-up and Carnahan has some really promising ideas. The film is currently slated for release on January 12, 2018.
 
Bad Boys 3 Gets Delayed, Bad Boys 4 May Not Happen
By Ryan Scott — February 7th, 2017
It has been 14 years since Martin Lawrence and Will Smith teamed up as a couple of cops who have a fondness for not following the rules in Bad Boys II. Sony has been planning to make Bad Boys for Life for quite some time now, which is currently going to be the title of Bad Boys 3. Unfortunately for those who have been eager to see the Bad Boys back on the big screen, the movie was just given another very significant delay.

As recently as December, Will Smith had said that Bad Boys 3 was "very, very close" to getting done. Sony announced the project more than two years ago and there haven't been many firm updates from the studio, just a lot of rumors and the occasional, unexciting update from either Will Smith or Martin Lawrence. Now, a report from the Exhibitor Relations Twitter account claims that Bad Boys 3 has been delayed by ten months. Here is what they had to say about it.


"Sony's Bad Boys For Life is now a holiday vehicle, rolling out November 9, 2018 instead of January 12, 2018. Bad Boys 4 is now TBD."

Not only is Bad Boys for Life getting a hefty delay, but the already announced Bad Boys 4 has been pulled from the schedule entirely. It was fairly bullish for Sony to announce a fourth Bad Boys movie in the first place, seeing as the third one hadn't even started filming. Not only that, but Michael Bay's Bad Boys II wasn't exactly a massive money maker. The movie grossed $273 million worldwide, which sounds like a pretty good number for an action movie on the surface, but with a reported budget of $130 million before marketing costs, that isn't exactly a great return. Still, the nostalgia factor and the return of Will Smith as Mike Lowrey and Martin Lawrence as Marcus Burnett could make Bad Boys 3 a hit.

There is no specific reason for the delay, according to the report from Exhibitor Relations. However, it was recently revealed that Will Smith is being eyed to star as the lead in Disney's live-action Dumbo, which is going to be directed by Tim Burton. Assuming Disney managed to work out the deal with Will Smith, that could be contributing to the new delay on Bad Boys for Life.

For now, we know that Bad Boys 3 is gong to be R-rated and is going to have a "very cool" bad guy. We also know that Michael Bay won't be returning to direct this time around. Instead, it will be Joe Carnahan, who directed The Grey and wrote the most recent draft of the Uncharted movie. For now, we will have to wait until November 9, 2018, to finally see Bad Boys for Life and originally, Bad Boys 4 was scheduled to hit theaters on May 24, 2019. Whether or not we will ever see that happen remains to be seen but for now, despite the delay, Bad Boys 3 is still happening. Just later than fans would probably like.
 
Damn, Diddy had us fooled w/ the soundtrack. I def swore BB2 was a big hit in the market.
