“Axel Foley Returns: First Glimpse of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F Promises Action-Packed Comeback!”
After almost three decades, Axel Foley makes a triumphant return in the thrilling trailer for Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, providing an initial peek into the highly anticipated fourth installment of Eddie Murphy’s iconic action-comedy series. From the trailer alone, it’s evident that this upcoming film will exceed expectations, bringing our beloved detective back into the heart of the action!
The movie’s synopsis reveals, “Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is once again patrolling the streets of Beverly Hills. When his daughter’s life is jeopardized, she (Taylour Paige) and Foley join forces with a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and reunite with old comrades Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to intensify the pursuit and unravel a sinister conspiracy.”
During a conversation with Tudum, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, known for his involvement in the legacy sequel Top Gun: Maverick, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “Eddie is an incredible artist. He can effortlessly transition between drama and comedy – a versatile talent. And he’s still the same Axel Foley, maintaining his presence on the streets. With age, comes wisdom, but he still retains that twinkle in his eye.” Director Mark Mollloy added, “Some of the most humorous moments in Axel F arise from Eddie’s improvisation. My role was to create the perfect environment, assembling the right cast around Eddie to let him shine in his element.”
In addition to Murphy, the cast includes Judge Reinhold (Lt. Billy Rosewood), Paul Reiser (Det. Jeffrey Friedman), John Ashton (Sgt. John Taggart), Bronson Pinchot (Serge), Taylour Paige (Jane Foley), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Det. Bobby Abbott), Kevin Bacon (Captain Grant), Mark Pellegrino, and Patricia Belcher (Judge Angelic).
While Netflix has not announced an official release date, the streaming giant has confirmed a Summer 2024 release window. The possibility of a limited theatrical release remains uncertain.
For those unfamiliar with the original Beverly Hills Cop, the Oscar-nominated film is currently available for streaming on Netflix, while Beverly Hills Cop II and Beverly Hills Cop III can be enjoyed in 4K Ultra HD on Paramount+.
