While a first trailer for this feature film has already been released at the end of 2023, Eddie Murphy also spoke about reprising his role as Axel Foley which is not obvious. Quoted by the magazine People, he underlines thus:
It was difficult. I played Axel Foley when I was in my twenties. I'm no longer in my twenties. It was an action film. So it was a difficult film. But we got through it.
And the Hollywood legend adds: “It’s a very dynamic feature film and I’had to do some physical stuff…. I like being on the couch, I don't like jumping, pulling and running. So, at the end of filming, I had a knee brace and my back was damaged. But the film will be special.”
As a reminder, we have relatively little information on this production. According to the site Moviehole, our hero will return to Los Angeles to investigate the corrupt Beverly Hills police and a murder also linked to law enforcement . Axel has matured and today has an adult daughter.
In the trailer, we could see Eddie Murphy in good physical shape, even if it was not easy for him who is now 62 years old, as he confided to our colleagues.
An impressive cast
Let us finally point out that the actor will be well supported, since the cast also includes Kevin Bacon (Mystic River), but also Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception). At their side, we will find Paul Reiser (The Boys), or even John Ashton (Uncle John ) and Taylour Paige (Sharp Stick). You can always reread our special report on the project here.
