The director is confident he’s got – in terms of past Bad Boys installments – “the strongest script of any of those movies.
“There’s only one Will Smith and one Martin Lawrence,” Carnahan said. “You can’t replace those guys and I wouldn’t want to be involved if it wasn’t Will and Martin.
Thankfully, the essential ingredient is there: io9’s coverage quietly confirming both stars Martin Lawrence and Will Smith would be returning for the film.
Carnahan is obviously hoping for another Fury Road, and the director feels particularly confident the long-developing Bad Boys 3 (AKA Bad Boys for Life) will be the best in the series; though he’s aware of the particular dangers he’s walking into.
