Eddie Murphy is coming back to play Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop 4, a movie that fans have been waiting for a long time. The last movie in the series, Beverly Hills Cop 3, came out in 1994 and didn’t do well. The new movie is called Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley, and it’s set to be released in 2024 on Netflix. The film is bringing the story into the modern world, as shown in a first look image where Murphy is surrounded by people with smartphones.
The cast includes original members like Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser, and Bronson Pinchot, and new additions like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, and Kevin Bacon.
The movie is directed by Mark Molloy and written by Will Beall, known for his work on Aquaman. The plot takes place three decades after Beverly Hills Cop 3 and involves Foley’s daughter, played by Taylour Paige, who is a criminal defense attorney. She gets her father involved in a case in California, leading to encounters with Kevin Bacon’s LAPD special-unit officer. Joseph Gordon-Levitt joins the cast as Foley’s new partner.
The production had some challenges, including changes in the script and director, but it’s now in the hands of Mark Molloy. The goal is to bring new energy to the beloved franchise. As more details about the plot emerge, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley in 2024.
