Ioan Gruffudd is the latest addition to the cast of Bad Boys 4. He will play Lockwood, a prominent Miami attorney turned aspiring political candidate. Deadline reports that the Welsh actor is the latest to join the cast of the upcoming and as-yet-untitled Sony action sequel.
The film will reunite the unruly Miami cops Mike Lowry (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence), who debuted in 1995’s Michael Bay-helmed Bad Boys and its 2003 sequel, Bad Boys II, before returning in 2020’s belated Bad Boys for Life, where they joined an elite Miami police squad, Advanced Miami Metro Operations (AMMO). Rita Secada (Paola Núnez), Kelly (Vanessa Hudgens) and Dorn (Alexander Ludwig) will all return for the sequel, as well. Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy, Euphoria) is a new addition to the cast, and will play the film’s villain.
Bad Boys 4 is currently in pre-production.
