He’s already signed on for Beverly Hills Cop 4, and will soon try his hand at drama once again with the upcoming Mr. Church.
Perhaps the most notable of these was 2007’s Dreamgirls, which earned Murphy an Oscar nomination for his performance.
Inexplicably detailed trailer editing aside, Mr. Church represents an opportunity for Murphy to re-establish his dramatic bona fides, and perhaps replenish some of his stock as a member of Hollywood’s A-list.
Mr. Church heads to theaters on September 16, 2016.
