Beverly Hills Cop 4 release date finally announced - and fans can't wait
Eddie Murphy's trademark laugh will doubtless be heard all the way to the bank if reaction to the much-anticipated Beverly Hills Cop 4 is anything to go by!
Netflix has confirmed the franchise's fourth film - Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F - will drop on July 3, according to a post on the streamer's Twitter/X account telling fans to "buckle up" for more Axel Foley. Murphy's fast-talking, street-smart Detroit detective first appeared in the stellar 1984 original film, which spawned two sequels in 1987 and 1994.
This new movie, directed by Mark Molloy, will reportedly revolve around our hero returning to Beverly Hills after a conspiracy lands his daughter (played by Zola Star Taylour Paige) in danger. Axel teams up with her and new partner Detective Bobby Abbott (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) to get to the truth with a little help from old friends Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton).
And in keeping with the whole 'old band is back' theme, Jerry Bruckheimer returns as producer, promising the "same Axel Foley" we've got to know and love. "He's still on the streets. He's still doing what he does. Obviously with age you get wiser. But he still has the twinkle in his eye," he told .
"Some of the funniest moments in Axel F are when Eddie's doing improvising," added Molloy, who is making his directorial debut. "For me, a big part of my job was to create the right environment [and] cast the right people around Eddie to allow him to do what he does best."

Beverly Hills Cop was Eddie Murphy's first box office hit in 1984 after he made his name appearing as a cast member of Saturday Night Live. The first flick follows Axel as he travels to Beverly Hills to investigate the murder of his childhood friend Mikey.
'I love the fact that they got the 'old band' back together'
Fans were bowled over by the trailer, here are just some of the comments left on YouTube:
@guillermoreyes54: "Axel hanging on a trailer door/driving a cement mixer, smashing cars and everything on the streets, the Pointer Sisters on in the background, while eating butter popcorn and a Coke at the theater, with your friends. Pure and beautiful 80s nostalgia. I'm sold on this movie!"
@SheyD78: "Gotta say Eddie is looking good so many years later. Hope it doesn't disappoint the fans."
@reggae8273: "Hearing the Axel F theme and seeing them three together equals goosebumps."
@gallai1: "The last scene sold it to me. Seeing them three together ... it's what I hoped for. Childhood memories."
@sacul7694: "Yeah, my dad and I are going to watch for sure. Eddie Murphy was on top of the world back then with Beverly Hills Cop, The Golden Child, and Coming to America. Loved those movies. I think we wore out our VHS tapes watching them over and over."
@bradevanson9948: "Talk about just stumbling onto this! Hell yes I cannot freaking wait! And to have the three of them back together is perfection, with Serge as the cherry on top of the cake of awesomeness! Bring it!!!"
@BigLebowski324: "I absolutely cannot wait for this. Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2 were two of my favourite childhood films. This hits me right in the nostalgia feels and I cannot wait to see it!"
@stefanpetersson636: "I just love the fact that they got the "old band" back together. That alone is a success right there."

@jaylive5704: "I just rewatched all three just to prepare me for number four. It’s crazy the nostalgia you get from this trailer alone. The modern version of a classic."
@Valaran1: "The Eddie Murphy comeback is officially complete. I am 100 per cent in on this movie.."
@toybarons: "This is AMAZING! Can't tell you how happy I am to see Eddie Murphy back on top of his game and of all things another Beverly Hills Cop movie. So many familiar faces too!"
