Martin Lawrence was chatting up Death at a Funeral, and managed to slip in that he has been talking with Michael Bay and Will Smith about the possibility of doing a Bad Boys 3.
And it looks like if these three have anything to say about it (and they do) there will be a third film.
“It’s real realistic,” the comedian revealed to MTV News, addressing rumors that he’ll re-team with Bay and the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air once again. “We’ve talked about Bad Boys 3.”
Any time you can get Big Willie to come out and talk about doing a third installment of a hot movie like Bad Boys, you have to take notice, Lawrence explained.
I met with Michael Bay, and he said he’s onboard too — so it’s real.
This is one of the few franchises that I don’t mind Martin Lawrence in. I am not a fan of his headlining stuff, but I like how he plays off of Will Smith.
Smith could be returning to a wave of action hits to pad his career a bit more before taking on serious roles again, and I like Smith in both capacities, so its a win/win for me.
But Martin Lawrence needs the boost.
