Eddie Murphy is feeling the heat in the first full trailer for Netflix‘s forthcoming action-comedy sequel Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
The feature from director Mark Molloy is set to launch July 16 on the streaming service. Murphy leads a cast that also includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser, Bronson Pinchot and Kevin Bacon.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F sees the star reprising his role as detective Axel Foley, who aims to save the life of his daughter (Paige) by teaming up with new partner (Gordon-Levitt) and familiar faces Billy Rosewood (Reinhold) and John Taggart (Ashton) to foil a conspiracy. Murphy originated his character in the Martin Brest-helmed 1984 smash Beverly Hills Cop, which was written by Danilo Bach and Daniel Petrie Jr. After becoming the year’s highest-grossing film, it was followed by two sequels, the latest of which hit theaters back in 1994.
Axel F’s teaser trailer was released in December and includes Reiser warning Murphy, “Watch your ass out there, OK?” This leads Murphy to reply, “I’m gonna be fine. They love me in Beverly Hills.”
Molloy directed the fourth Beverly Hills Cop from a script credited to Will Beall, Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten. Murphy, Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman produce the film, while Ray Angelic, Charisse Hewitt-Webster and Lorenzo Di Bonaventura are executive producers.
Murphy’s recent credits include the holiday feature Candy Cane Lane, which launched on Prime Video in late 2023. Other projects include last year’s Netflix comedy You People alongside Jonah Hill, Nia Long and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, along with Amazon’s 2021 sequel Coming 2 America.
