Bad Boys 4 Life: Jacob Scipio And Paola Nuñez Join Cast

Deadline is exclusively reporting that Jacob Scipio and Paola Nuñez are the latest names to join the cast for the upcoming Bad Boys sequel, Bad Boys 4 Life.

 

The Bad Boys films focuses on two Miami Detectives, Marcus Bennett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowry (Will Smith), with the first film released in 1995 making $141m worldwide and the second film released in 2003 making $273m.

 

Bad Boys 4 Life will follow Miami PD and its elite AMMO team’s attempt to take down Armando Armas, head of a drug cartel.

 

Jacob Scipio (whose credits include Hunter Killer and Strike) will be playing the role of villain Armando, a cold-blooded killer with a vicious nature. Paola Nuñez (whose credits include Palabra de Ladrón and The Son) will be playing the role of Rite, the tough and funny criminal psychologist who is the newly appointed head of AMMO and Mike’s former girlfriend….and the one who got away.

 

The duo will be joining a cast that includes Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Joe Pantoliano, Vanessa Hudgens, Charles Melton and Alexander Ludwig.

 

It was announced back in February that Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah were attached to direct the film and the main premise of the film is still being kept under wraps.

 

Bad Boys 4 Life is currently scheduled for cinematic release on the 17th January 2020.
