No story details yet confirmed, but rumors have pointed to a scenario where real-time progression (13 years since Bad Boys II) sees Detective Mike Lowrey (Smith) now married with kids, much like his partner Marcus Burnett (Lawrence). Having Lowrey stumbling through parenthood while Marcus is cruising into retirement, kids all raised, is a premise for a lot of classic Bad Boys-style comedy.
We'll keep you updated as more information comes to light - but for now: Bad Boys for Life will be in theaters on January 12, 2018.
