Eddie Murphy stars in the upcoming American action comedy film Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, directed by Mark Molloy and written by Will Beall, Tom Gormican, and Kevin Etten based on a Beall scenario. It will be the fourth film in the Beverly Hills Cop series, which includes Beverly Hills Cop (1984), Beverly Hills Cop II (1987), and Beverly Hills Cop III (1994). It will be available on Netflix.
In the middle of the 1990s, Murphy’s production company started working on the movie. Over the years, several filmmakers and screenwriters, including Brett Ratner, Adil El Arbi, and Bilall Fallah, were involved. In April 2022, Molloy was brought on as director, and work got underway in California that August. After completion, the movie is expected to be released in mid-2024.
