‘Bad Boys For Life’ Camera Test Reveals First Look At Will Smith’s Return As Mike Lowrey

A new camera test for Bad Boys For Life has surfaced, revealing the first look at Will Smith’s return as Detective Mike Lowrey for the long-in-development third installment of the franchise.

Earlier this week, Smith took to social media to tease fans with the first look at the script as production on the project is kicking off. Bad Boys For Life is set to feature another team-up between Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Bennett (Martin Lawrence) as the duo goes up against a drug cartel which also has a target on Mike’s head.

Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are directing the project from a script written by Peter Craig, Joe Carnahan, and Chris Bremmer. You can check out the first look at Smith back as Mike Lowry below!

Bad Boys For Life is not the only upcoming project for the franchise as Bad Boys is also being spun-off into television with L.A.’s Finest, a series which will feature Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba and is set to debut on Charter Spectrum in 2019. Union is reprising her role as Special Agent Syd Burnett, the sister of Lawrence’s Marcus Burnett who was last seen taking down a Miami drug cartel in Bad Boys II. The pilot picks up with Syd working as an LAPD detective when her new partner, Nancy McKenna — played by Alba — discovers Syd’s unapologetic lifestyle may be masking a greater personal secret.

Directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah from a script written by Peter Craig, Joe Carnahan, and Chris Bremmer, Bad Boys For Life stars Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Paola Nuñez, Jacob Scipio, Alexander Ludwig, Vanessa Hudgens, and Charles Melton.

The new installment centers on the Miami PD and its elite AMMO team’s attempt to take down Armando Armas (Scipio), head of a drug cartel. Armando is a cold-blooded killer with a vicious, taunting nature. He is committed to the work of the cartel and is dispatched by his mother to kill Mike (Smith). Nuñez will take on the role of Rite, the tough and funny criminal psychologist who is the newly appointed head of AMMO and Mike’s former girlfriend- and the one who got away.
