The Burnett-Lowery duo is now slated to return for more action as the third sequel of "Bad Boys" is officially announced.

It has been evident for a while now that the 49-year-old actor was eager for more crazy car chase scenes and shootouts. Earlier in July, Lawrence wrote on his Facebook timeline a post celebrating "Bad Boys 2" release noting that: "11 years ago today, Bad Boys II was released in theaters."
Then segued to say that: "Feelin' it's about time for number 3 … what do you think Will Smith?"
Though fans from the actor's social media account expressed utter interest for another helping of the movie, his fictional crime-fighting partner Will Smith (Detective Mike Lowrey) hasn't still given a word about the invitation.
Show runner Jerry Bruckheimer pointed out that Smith is one of the reasons that the sequel had a hard time starting.
"It's so funny because we'll get Sony real excited to make the movie, and then Will [Smith] is off doing two movies," he told Collider.
The Lawrence and Smith on-screen partnership debuted in the 1995 "Bad Boys" film and continued on 2003's "Bad Boys 2," which earned the latter an Image Award nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture.
"Bad Boys " could be ready to hit the cinemas somewhere in late 2015.
