Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are busy filming Bad Boys 4 in Miami!

The duo were seen on the movie’s set on the water in Miami on Saturday, one day after photographers captured Smith, 55, filming what appears to be a wedding sequence for the upcoming Bad Boys sequel.

Smith could be seen wearing a black t-shirt with Reba McEntire’s face on it, a plaid shirt over it with sleeves cut off and tan pants on the film’s set, while Lawrence, 58, wore a hoodie that reads “Purebread White Boy” on its chest. Smith also appeared to sport a small wound on the right side of his forehead as makeup for his Bad Boys character Mike Lowrey.

Smith and Lawrence star in the Bad Boys franchise as Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, two Miami detectives who continually investigate drug trafficking and other crimes throughout the series’ first three movies. The original Bad Boys premiered in 1995; Bad Boys II followed in 2003, and Bad Boys for Life released in 2020.

The pair originally confirmed they were making Bad Boys 4 in January 2023 and were seen filming the movie in Atlanta as far back as April of last year. Most recently, Smith was captured kissing costar Melanie Liburd while acting out a wedding last Friday.

Bad Boys 4, which does not yet hold an official title, will also star Eric Dane, Alexander Ludwig and Vanessa Hudgens; Ludwig and Hudgens previously appeared as police officers in Bad Boys for Life. The new film is directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who took over the series with its 2020 entry; Michael Bay directed the series’ first two movies.

The new movie’s production was delayed several months by 2023’s SAG-AFTRA strike, which ran from July to November 2023.

Though filming resumed following the strike’s end, Smith and Lawrence have spent time together off set, too. The duo recently got together to watch their friend Kevin Hart perform at Hart’s recent comedy show. Smith shared photos of the trio together on Instagram, and Hart — who is not in the Bad Boys movies — referenced the films in his own Instagram post.

“My brothers for life…. Love these 🐐’s ….We ride together ….we die together…. Bad Boys For Life,” Hart wrote in his caption.

Bad Boys 4 is expected in theaters June 7.
