Netflix released the new trailer for ‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.’
In the new movie, Axel Foley teams up with his old friends Billy Rosewood (played by Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (played by John Ashton). Paul Reiser returns as Jeffrey Friedman and Bronson Pinchot is back as Serge.
New characters include Axel’s daughter Jane, played by Taylour Paige, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Foley’s new partner Detective Abbott, and Kevin Bacon as LAPD special-unit officer Captain Cade Grant.
The story begins when Jane’s life is threatened. Axel, Jane, Detective Abbott, Billy, and Taggart join forces to uncover a conspiracy in Beverly Hills, but the city has changed a lot since Axel’s first visit in 1984.

It’s Been Three Decades Since The Last Movie
The original ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ movie was released in 1984. It was followed by two sequels: ‘Beverly Hills Cop II’ in 1987 and ‘Beverly Hills Cop III’ in 1994. So, this new movie comes 30 years after the last sequel.
‘Top Gun: Maverick’s Jerry Bruckheimer is producing the film, and Mark Molloy is the director. Bruckheimer shared with Tudum that Eddie Murphy still has the same energy and humor that made Axel Foley who he was:
“Eddie’s such an incredible artist. He can do drama, he can do comedy – he can do anything. And he’s the same Axel Foley. He’s still on the streets. He’s still doing what he does. Obviously, with age, you get wiser. But he still has the twinkle in his eye.”
Molloy adds that some of the funniest moments in the movie are when Eddie Murphy improvises:
“Some of the funniest moments in ‘Axel F’ are when Eddie’s improvising. For me, a big part of my job was to create the right environment, cast the right people around Eddie to allow him to do what he does best.”
‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.’ will be available on Netflix starting July 3, 2024. You can rewatch the original movies on Netflix while waiting for the new release.
