The original "Bad Boys" movie came out in 1995. Smith and Lawrence reprised their roles in 2003's "Bad Boys II" and again in 2020 for "Bad Boys for Life," which won Outstanding Motion Picture at the 52nd NAACP Image Awards in March.

During their acceptance speech, Smith and Lawrence hinted they're developing a fourth and final installment in the franchise.
