Will Smith pushing Martin Lawrence for another 'Bad Boys' movie: Source

Will Smith reportedly wanted Martin Lawrence to sign up for another Bad Boys sequel.

As per the latest findings of RadarOnline.com, Martin Lawrence has drifted away from Will Smith post his infamous Chris Rock.

After putting up Will Smiths’ alleged “creepy intensity,” Martin has reportedly showed no interest in making another action comedy movie after the release of Bad Boys: Ride or Die last year.

“Martin just turned 60 and at this age, he has a lot more fun performing his stand-up live and hanging out with his kids than he does making one of these giant, complicated movies,” a source explained why Martin does not feel ambitious for the project.

The source even addressed, "He's not desperate for money or attention. Plus, as good as the chemistry is between Martin and Will in these films, it's not like they're best friends in real life.”

"He's enjoying life at his own pace and not in any rush to work with Will again, even though it's basically the only film franchise Will has going right now," they continued.

Nonetheless, the source address that "Sony wants another movie and they are the ones writing the checks."

The source even stated, "The 2024 movie was a smash in cinemas and on Netflix and proved that Will could still pull in giant crowds despite the damage he did to his image with 'THE Slap.'

"Still, the movie faces headwinds and a big one is that Martin pushed himself to the limit and keeping up with Will is exhausting even when you're not filming high-octane action sequences," they remarked in concluded.
