Will Smith looks every inch the action star as he films tense chase scene alongside his body double for Bad Boys 4 on a bridge in Miami

Will Smith went back into cop mode on Saturday as he continued shooting the as-yet-untitled Bad Boys 4 movie in Miami, Florida.

The actor, 55, was spotted filming a high-octane chase scene in which he pointed a prop gun on the side of a road at a bridge.

Will wore a black cardigan under an open shirt, paired with matching jeans, a silver chain and a matching bracelet.

He was accompanied by a body double, who wore a duplicate costume and sported the same hairstyle and facial hair as the movie star.

Between takes, Will was seen having his face and hair touched up by the hair and makeup artist.

He stars in the fourth installment of the Bad Boys franchise, as Detective Lt. Mike Lowrey opposite Martin Lawrence as Detective Lt. Marcus Burnett.

Production resumed on February 26, after a seven-month hiatus due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.

Directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah had expected the film to be completed this summer, but production was abruptly halted after the actors’ strike began on July 31.

Although principal photography on the film was completed before the shutdown, reshoots were required to complete the film.

Production is expected to wrap soon, and then the rush will begin to finish editing as Bad Boys 4 premieres in the US on June 7.

The film’s plot has been kept under wraps, with the franchise previously focusing on the antics and investigations of narcotics officers Mike and Marcus as they take down dangerous criminals.

Vanessa Hudgens reprises her role as Kelly, a weapons expert first introduced in 2020’s Bad Boys For Life.

While Alexander Ludwig, Paola Núñez, DJ Khaled and Jacob Scipio are also back to reprise their roles.

Tasha Smith joins the cast, taking over the role of Theresa Burnett from Theresa Randle, who previously played the character in the first three films.

While the other new cast members are Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd, Rhea Seehorn and Joyner Lucas, with Deadline Ioan will star as Lockwood, a high-profile lawyer running for election.

The previous three films were hugely successful franchises at the worldwide box office, with the original Bad Boys (1995) grossing $141.4 million against a budget of $19 million.

Eight years later, Bad Boys II (2003) would do even better at the box office, grossing $273.3 million, although its bloated $130 million budget ate up much of the extra profits.

The third installment, Bad Boys For Life (2020), ultimately became the biggest hit of the three productions, earning $426.5 million while working on a $90 million budget.

Bad Boys 4 entered development that same year, but progress on the film was reportedly halted in April 2022 due to Will’s infamous ‘slapgate’ scandal at the Oscars.

During the ceremony, he stormed the stage and punched Chris Rock in the face for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

After public backlash, Will issued a formal apology and made a phone call his behavior “unacceptable” and “inexcusable,” before he was subsequently banned from attending the Oscars or any other Academy event for a decade.
