Will Smith & Martin Lawrence Spotted On Set Of ‘Bad Boys 4’ As Filming For The Highly Anticipated Project Has Officially Kicked Off

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are officially back to being “Bad Boys”!

The actors were spotted on Wednesday (Apr. 12) shooting for the film in Atlanta, signifying that the fourth edition to the “Bad Boys” franchise is in production. Martin Lawrence, 57, was captured in a burgundy tracksuit with matching Nike sneakers. Will Smith was seen in an unbuttoned black short-sleeved shirt paired with dark pants. It’s reported that this was their second day filming the same scene, as paparazzi captured Smith, 54, in the same fit the previous day.

Filming for the project finally kicking off is great news for “Bad Boys” fans! You may recall that critics were skeptical the movie would ever take place due to Smith’s infamous 2022 Oscars slap. The “Emancipation” star’s career was seemingly in jeopardy after he slapped comedian Chris Rock, 58, at the Oscars for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, 51.

Despite the naysayers, Martin Lawrence seemingly remained confident the project would take place. As previously reported, in an interview with Ebony magazine the “Big Momma’s House” star said his co-star’s actions won’t affect the film. Lawrence said:

“We got one more at least.”
