Titled Bad Boys for Life, the film trailer sees Smith and Lawrence reunite to take down criminals with a band of young cops.

However, when Mike discovers someone is trying to kill him, he and Marcus keep things in the family, and go to work for one last ride. Retaining the franchise charm, the trailer showcases slick car chases, with Smith spinning out in a Porsche, stylised action sequences, explosions, and snappy banter. In the final scene, a body falls out of the sky, and lands on Marcus’ car, prompting him to wail, “Aww, that’s my wife’s car!" Check out the trailer here
