Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is a 2024 American buddy cop action comedy film starring Eddie Murphy. The fourth installment in the Beverly Hills Cop film series, and a standalone sequel to Beverly Hills Cop III (1994), it was directed by Mark Molloy and written by Will Beall, Tom Gormican, and Kevin Etten from a story by Beall. In addition to Murphy, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton (in his final role), Paul Reiser, and Bronson Pinchot reprise previous roles and are joined by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, and Kevin Bacon. In the film, Axel Foley returns to Beverly Hills after his daughter Jane and his old colleague Billy Rosewood's lives are threatened. She and Axel team up with her ex-boyfriend Bobby Abbott and Axel's other Beverly Hills friends, John Taggart and Serge, to uncover a conspiracy. The film entered development in the mid-1990s, under Murphy's production company. Various directors and screenwriters were attached over the years, including the filmmaking duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, but the project had faced multiple issues and has undergone development hell. In April 2022, Molloy was hired to direct, with production beginning in California that August. Jerry Bruckheimer returned as producer, after working on the first two films in the series. This is the first film not to be distributed by Paramount Pictures. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F was released on the streaming service Netflix on July 3, 2024. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who deemed it a return to form for the series, and was the most-streamed film on Netflix for almost two weeks.
