BAD BOYS FOR LIFE Directors Have Met With Marvel Studios And DC About Helming A Future Project

Bad Boys for Life was huge hit, and directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah put themselves on the map in a big way with the sequel. However, despite having already been given the opportunity to reunite Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, the filmmakers have even bigger hopes for the future. 

Those aspirations would seem to include a superhero movie, because after previously confirming that they'd met with Marvel Studios, the duo have now revealed that they've also spoken to Warner Bros. about a DC Film.

"So far, we also had a meeting with DC," El Arbi told ComicBook.com. "Obviously, we said, 'Hey, 30 years from now, if there's a new Batman, we're still here!'" He added: "We're huge Marvel fans but it was just talks at this point. There was nothing yet concrete."

"If we find something that we really love and that fits to our personality then, yeah, for sure, we go for it. It would be an honor to work with them. We are exploring at this point. We are looking for what is the right character, right storyline to go. If they have something, if we have something, I hope that very soon we find something, and we can work with Marvel or DC, as well."

It's going to be a busy few years for El Arbi and Fallah as they're already working on Beverly Hills Cop 4 for Netflix, and potentially another Bad Boys movie for Sony Pictures. It's definitely interesting to wonder what they could bring to both the Marvel Cinematic and DC Extended Universes, though...

If they choose to direct a movie for DC, I can see they have the potential to direct Redhood and The outlaw....it could fit with their style

@solskulldeath - doubt there will ever be a red hood and the outlaws movie. Havent even gotten a nightwing movie yet or batgirl. Plus they should really do under the red hood first

@dracula - well,Nightwing could be fit with them, but I can sense red hood could much suits them.

If Kevin Feige wants to reboot Luke Cage, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are great options.

@Repian - considering it would be a reboot, they would probably recast everyone, so got to say, Will Smith would make one hell of a Cotton Mouth. Although for now im betting its blade

@TheMandalorian - Honestly...such terrible pacing, I mean for Christ's sake they go from a jolly old time to nearly f*cking death and a marriage and...what? In like ten jumpshots spanning five minutes. Both my parents and I watched it and were struggling to sit through until the end. The final sequence was the only redeeming aspect of the movie to me.

I'm really not thrilled about these guys as directors.
