BadBoys4 is reportedly paused following WillSmith slapping Chris Rock over a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith at the 2022 Oscars ceremony.
Work on Bad Boys 4 has reportedly paused following Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the Oscars Ceremony. Before presenting the award for Best Documentary Feature, won by Questlove's Summer of Soul, Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, comparing her Oscars look to Demi Moore's GI Jane. While the crowd found the moment humorous, Smith did not after seeing his wife's reaction.
Viewers were stunned that Smith was not escorted out of the Dolby Theatre after assaulting Rock, and many were put off by him being allowed to give a speech for winning the Best Actor Oscar less than an hour after the incident. Rock refused to press charges after being slapped, but The Academy did launch a formal investigation into the matter. The next day, Smith offered an apology to the Academy and Rock on social media and just recently announced his decision to resign from The Academy.
Bad Boys for Life was released 17 years after Bad Boys 2. The film received generally positive reviews, and thanks to it coming out before the start of COVID-19, Bad Boys for Life also became one of the highest-grossing movies in 2020. Shortly after the film's release, Bad Boys 4 was confirmed to be in development by Sony. The last big update given was in May 2020, with producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirming the script was being written.
Even though Rock's joke was in poor taste, considering Pinkett Smith's struggle with alopecia, most would agree that Smith physically harming Rock was not the best course of action. There was always the possibility of the outburst affecting Smith's career, but until now, there hadn't been any word on his future projects being in jeopardy. That being said, it's very possible that development on Bad Boys 4 will continue now that Smith has faced some sort of consequence.
