Martin Lawrence has finally confirmed a year ago that "Bad Boys 3" is indeed happening. Now, two new cast members are added, Dwyane Wade's wife Gabrielle Union will be reprising her role as Syd Burnett, Theresa Randle, and Joe Pantoliano's role are yet to be determined.
"I just talked to [producer] Jerry Bruckheimer and he said it's real, they're working on the script, they're getting close, and it all looks good," Lawrence said.
With the addition of Gabrielle Union and Theresa Randle, will they be the new love interest for Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett?
Sadly, Martin indicated that Will Smith might not be joining the third installment. But on a different note, a new actor might be partnering up with Lawrence.
At that time also, Bruckheimer also said he was thinking twice about the project:
"It's so funny because we'll get Sony real excited to make the movie, and then Will is off doing two movies. And then, Will will come back and be real excited about it, and Sony will say, 'Well, maybe it's not the time for this.' And then, Ride Along came out and was a big hit, and now they're all excited to make the movie, but Will is off doing something else. It's just trying to get everybody together to make it," he told Collider. "But, we're working on the script. We have a lot of faith and hope that we'll do it."
But now, the film is in full steam. When Lawrence guested in Conan O'Brien last year, the comedian-host said jokingly that he wants a part in the film.
Lawrence positively replied, "I will mention it to Will Smith and Jerry Bruckheimer that Conan wants a cameo."
"We wanna cast you in it," he said. "You know what you could play? A crooked cop on crack." Conan laughed and shouted, "Yes! I think I was born to play that."
The rumors began when Lawrence posted on facebook last July 18 that he is intrigued by the idea of a third sequel for Bad Boys.
"11 years ago today, Bad Boys II was released in theaters. Feelin' it'' about time for number 3... what do you think Will Smith?" he wrote.
