Eddie Murphy is 62 years old, still doesn’t look an age over 40, and is set to reprise his Detective Axel Foley character for a Beverly Hills Cop sequel for Netflix. I doubt it will be anything approaching how good the original was, but I also suspect the original has aged as poorly as Murphy’s early stand-up.

Here, the Detroit detective has to return to Beverly Hills once again to investigate the death of a long-time confidant. While Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser, and Bronson Pinchot all return, it’s nice to see Murphy’s not surrounded entirely by ’80s B-movie actors. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kevin Bacon are along for the ride, as well.

Here’s the trailer in all its glory.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F will premiere on Netflix in Summer 2024.
