Netflix is moving forward with production on Beverly Hills Cop 4, and though word is Eddie Murphy will be back as Axel Foley, the movie just won’t quite feel like a true sequel unless Judge Reinhold and John Ashton also return.
Even so, two actors who were just as important to the success of Beverly Hills Cop were Judge Reinhold and John Ashton, and bringing them back along with Murphy would be ideal for the upcoming sequel.
Beverly Hills Cop III reveals that Taggart has since retired as John Ashton did not return for the 1994 sequel.
Clearly, what would be best for the longtime fans of the movie series would be for Murphy to be joined by Ashton and Reinhold in Beverly Hills Cop 4.
