Somehow, Eddie Murphy doesn’t look bored in the first trailer for Netflix’s Beverly Hills Cop 4

He’s still got it.

Today, in sentences I thought I’d never type: Netflix ’s Beverly Hills Cop 4, a late sequel that’d make like $7 if they dropped it in cinemas, doesn’t look bad.

The first look at the movie was finally released today by Netflix, and while it’s a short teaser trailer, it already shows quite a lot of the tone and overall energy we should expect from Eddie Murphy’s return to the role of Detective Axel Foley. Against all expectations, he looks lively and the best he’s been in a very very long time, regardless of how bad or good the rest of the movie turns out to be. You can watch the preview here .

The official synopsis reads as follows: “Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is back on the beat in Beverly Hills. After his daughter’s life is threatened, she (Taylour Paige) and Foley team up with a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and old pals Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to turn up the heat and uncover a conspiracy.” You know, the usual legacy sequel stuff, though Murphy remains the star of the show. Still, one has to wonder how wide the appeal of another Beverly Hills Cop sequel will be in 2024.
