The Bad Boys Have Always Been Successful
Bad Boys For Life grossed $426.5 million at the global box office, 25 years after the original Bad Boys grossed $141 million.
However, since the Oscar event in which Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, there has been a lot of conjecture about the potential sequel.
The Unforgettable Oscar Slap
One year ago, he slapped Oscars host Chris Rock for joking about his wife’s lack of hair.
She shaved to conceal the hair loss she had.
Smith stormed the stage, slapping Rock.
Despite sweeping the Oscars in controversy, Smith won Best Actor for his performance as the father of Venus and Serena Williams in King Richard – but he did not expressly apologize to Rock.
He Apologized To Chris Rock
Smith apologized to Rock for the first time in March. He issued a lengthy message on Instagram, stating that “violence in all its forms” is unacceptable.
In July, he delivered another groveling apology to Rock, revealing that his erstwhile pal hasn’t forgiven him for hitting him on stage at the Oscars.
Will Smith Is A Work In Progress
Smith said he’d spent the previous three months ‘working’ on himself and recognized now how many people he’d wounded when he hit Rock on stage at the Oscars.
And he apologized to Rock’s family for his conduct. Rock has told Will that he is not ready to talk about the incident, but Will says he will wait until he is.
Will also apologized to his wife Jada.
Martin Had Earlier Confirmed
However, Martin Lawrence confirmed to Ebony during the summer that he and Will were still on the hook for one more Bad Boys picture.
Lawrence said in July.
No doubt the duo would blow our minds again with this one.
