Vanessa Hudgens Praises Sequel’s Story & Calls It “Action-Packed”

Singer and actor Vanessa Hudgens praises the highly anticipated Bad Boys 4. The Bad Boys franchise, which stars Martin Lawrence and Will Smith as its two charismatic leads, kicked off in 1995 with the Michael Bay-directed movie which received mixed reviews from critics but was a commercial success. This led to two subsequent sequels, Bad Boys II and Bad Boys for Life.

Now, with the release date for the upcoming Bad Boys 4 drawing closer, Vanessa Hudgens, in an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, described the forthcoming sequel as “fun” and “action-packed.” She also adds that working with the Bad Boys crew has helped her develop into a more well-rounded actor. Read her full comment below:

We actually just finished up Bad Boys 4, which I’m really excited about. I think it’s just such a great story and a lot of fun and action-packed. Each experience is different, and I feel like they all help you grow and develop into a more well-rounded actor. I feel like working with this entire crew definitely helps me do that

What Else Do We Know About Bad Boys 4

The well-received Bad Boys For Life saw the film’s conclusion leave an opening for the franchise’s continuation. With AMMO expanding, Marcus and Mike both working as detectives again, and with the revelation Armando is Mike’s son, there are plenty of plotlines to tackle.

Following Bad Boys 4 getting green-lit, it was also confirmed that Lawrence and Smith will be returning as Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey. In addition to the franchise’s co-leads, other names like Alexander Ludwig, Hudgens, Gabrielle Union, Melanie Liburd, Eric Dane, Tasha Smith, and Rhea Seehorn will also feature in the forthcoming movie.

Bad Boys 4 Is Missing 1 Character Who Could Unite The Franchise

Bad Boys 4 has yet to confirm the addition of one essential character, but their appearance would be critical to the movie and the overall franchise.

The post-credits scene of Bad Boys For Life gives a great hint of what to expect from this new movie. Mike visits Armando in prison and makes a deal with him to help on a case for a reduced sentence. The charismatic duo of Marcus and Mike this time will likely be teaming with Armando. With this added wrinkle, Bad Boys 4 will be able to take the series in a new direction.
