The sequel to Beverly Hills Cop has a new director. Mark Molloy is replacing Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah in Beverly Hills Cop 4. Eddie Murphy will reprise his role.
Murphy starred in Beverly Hills Cop in 1984. In the first film, a cop from Detroit went to the west coast to find a killer. Billy Rosewood and John Taggart were assigned to escort Foley out of Beverly Hills, but they ended up teaming with him to solve the crime. Beverly Hills Cop 2 and Beverly Hills Cop 3 were made in 1987.
The rights to produce Beverly Hills Cop 4 were sold by the movie studio to the streaming service. There was an option for an additional sequel as well. Bad Boys For Life directors Arbi and Fallah were initially attached to helm the film. Batgirl was wrapped by the duo. Molloy has never directed a film before. Beverly Hills Cop 4 will be the directorial debut of Molloy.
The fourth Beverly Hills Cop movie was almost never made. Shawn Ryan, creator of The Shield, was hired by CBS to create a weekly Beverly Hills Cop show. Brandon T. Jackson was supposed to headline the series as the son of Axel Foley, with Murphy reprising his role for the pilot episode. CBS decided against placing a series order while the pilot was being filmed. The development of Beverly Hills Cop 4 was resumed by Paramount.
Coming 2 America was one of Murphy's classic franchises. Beverly Hills Cop 4 has earned a tax credit from the state of California that ensures it will be filmed in the state.
