Martin Lawrence And Will Smith Have Finished Filming Bad Boys 3

Hey, guess what? It looks like Bad Boys 3 - otherwise known as Bad Boys For Life - has finally finished filming.

That means we are drawing closer to the return of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's cop comedy, back on our screens for a third instalment.

The news was announced by the two co-stars in a picture shared on Twitter by Lawrence. The shot was of the pair of friends sitting in chairs in an exotic place - not entirely sure where exactly - in the shade of two umbrellas.

It's a tough life, sometimes, isn't it?

Lawrence shared the shot on Twitter with the caption: "Bad Boys. It's a wrap!"

Good stuff.

So, what do we know so far about the film? Well, Martin Lawrence's character Detective Marcus Barnett appears to have put on a bit of weight. Or, at least, Martin Lawrence has gained some timber.

It looks like they might be about to play up to that for some laughs in the film. A recent promotional shot showed the pair running, and Marcus Barnett looked to be struggling more than a bit.

Will Smith's character, Mike Lowrey, still looks cool as a cucumber and you'd have to imagine the silver-tongued law enforcement officer will be back to his usual self in the new flick.

Alongside Smith and Lawrence, we're going to see stars like Vanessa Hudgens, Kate del Castillo, Paola Nunez, Jacob Scipio, Alexander Ludwig, Joe Pantoliano and Charles Melton in the film.

Oh, and from the world of music, we'll see DJ Khaled. Perhaps he'll also release something on the soundtrack. Is a collaboration with Will Smith on the cards? We'll have to wait and see.

The official synopsis for the film reads: ""The new instalment centres on the Miami PD and its elite AMMO team's attempt to take down Armando Armas (Jacob Scipio), head of a drug cartel.

"Armando is a cold-blooded killer with a vicious, taunting nature. He is committed to the work of the cartel and is dispatched by his mother to kill Mike (Will Smith)."

Whilst they may have finished up with this part of the process, there is still a long way to go before we'll get to see the finished article at the cinemas.

Bad Boys 3, or Bad Boys For Life, or whatever you choose to call it, will hit our screens next year on 17 January 2020.

Here's hoping it lives up to the quality of the other two films in the series.
