The full title of the film has also been revealed to be Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley. Here’s what we know about this movie right now:
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley Release Date
This actually isn’t the first time we’re hearing about a fourth installment in the Beverly Hills Cop franchise. Back in November 2019, Netflix announced that it had acquired the rights for a Beverly Hills Cop sequel. Prior to this, Paramount decided to cancel the supposed 2016 release of the movie in 2015. Production was delayed for a few years because of delays, rewrites, and a change in studio. Not only that, it’s possible that the global pandemic had something to do with the delay. Right now, we don’t know much about the film, except that it has started filming in August 29, 2022. It is expected to end filming by the end of October 2022. After that, it will likely enter post-production before it becomes available for release. We will update this post once more information becomes available.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley Cast
There wouldn’t be an Axel Foley without the man himself, Eddie Murphy. And luckily, the actor has confirmed that he is returning to reprise this role. This time, however, Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be joining him in an undisclosed role. Taylour Paige has also been confirmed to be part of the cast. It’s possible that she will play the role of Foley’s estranged daughter, Jane. There are ongoing rumors that John Ashton and Judge Reinhold will be returning to reprise their roles as Det. Sgt. John Taggart and Det. William “Billy” Rosewood, respectively. At this time, there is no confirmation on this yet.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley Story
Beverly Hills Cop made its debut in 1984. It was followed by two other movies entitled Beverly Hills Cop 2 in 1987 and Beverly Hills Cop 3 in 1994. The fourth movie breaks away from tradition with a new title revealed by Deadline as Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley. The movie is directed by Mark Molloy after replacing Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. Its script was written by Will Beall, Josh Appelbaum, and Andre Nemec. Murphy is credited as a producer, together with Jerry Bruckheimer and Melissa Reid. For the fourth film, we’ll likely see a retired Axel Foley making his return to the LAPD. After all, it’s been almost 30 years since the last film. But in this sequel, Foley will be introducing his estranged daughter, Jane; who is at threat in the film. That’s all we know right now about the possible Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley story. But we will continue to keep an eye on future developments.
