Eddie's Ready

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F Teaser

After nearly three decades, fans of the action comedy franchise can rejoice as the long-awaited fourth film, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, is set to hit Netflix next summer. The teaser for the movie was released recently, giving fans a taste of what to expect.

The teaser doesn't provide any plot details, but it is packed with excitement. Viewers can expect thrilling shootouts, exhilarating car chases, wanton destruction, and a humorous touch. There's even a scene where a Beverly Hills mother makes her child take influencer pictures. Additionally, Eddie Murphy, reprising his role as Axel Foley, delivers quips and jokes, including one about getting arrested twice.

The story of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F revolves around Axel and his daughter, Jane, played by Taylour Paige. When Jane's life is threatened, the synopsis reveals that Axel and Jane embark on a mission to uncover a dangerous conspiracy. Along the way, they join forces with old friends Billy Rosewood (played by Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton), as well as new partner Bobby Abbott (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).

Long-Awaited Arrival

Directed by Mark Molloy, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F will finally make its debut after years of delays and false starts. The announcement for a fourth movie in the franchise was made in the 1990s but never came to fruition. In the mid-2010s, a movie was planned to be filmed in Michigan but was ultimately canceled. There were even plans to turn it into a TV show, with Eddie Murphy considering a role as Axel Foley's son. However, none of the scripts felt right, and the project didn't move forward.

The last installment in the Beverly Hills Cop series was Beverly Hills Cop III, directed by John Landis, released in 1994. The beloved series first began in 1984 with Martin Brest's Beverly Hills Cop, followed by a sequel directed by Tony Scott in 1987.

Eddie Murphy's Recent Projects

During the 2010s, Eddie Murphy took on fewer acting roles. However, in the 2020s, he has been more active in the entertainment industry. In 2021, he finally released the highly anticipated Coming to America sequel. This year, he starred in Kenya Barris' romantic comedy, You People, and the Christmas comedy, Candy Cane Lane. There were also reports of Murphy potentially playing Inspector Clouseau in a new Pink Panther reboot.

With his return to the Beverly Hills Cop franchise, fans can once again enjoy Murphy's comedic genius and action-packed performance. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F promises to be a thrilling addition to the beloved series, delivering the humor and entertainment that fans have been waiting for.
