Tea Leoni as Julie Mott in Bad Boys, Will Smith as Mike Lowrey in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, and Gabrielle Union as Syd in Bad Boys II
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Bad Boys: Ride or Die is missing several major characters from the franchise's prior entries. The fourth movie in the Bad Boys franchise brings an expected cast and group of characters. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return to play Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, while Joe Pantoliano is back as Captain Howard too.
Audiences have not seen Syd in a Bad Boys movie since 2003, but Gabrielle Union returned to the franchise since then. She headlined a Bad Boys TV show spinoff called L.A.'s Finest, which followed Syd as a cop in Los Angeles. The series ran for two seasons, but it was canceled in 2020, only one month after the second season debuted. Bad Boys II remains Gabrielle Union's only movie appearance in the franchise after missing from the fourth film.
8 Rafe Played By Charles Melton In Bad Boys For Life Charles Melton's Rafe is a surprising absentee cast member in Bad Boys: Ride or Die. The actor joined the franchise in Bad Boys for Life, playing a cocky member of AMMO who frequently irritated Mike. Rafe survived the events of Bad Boys for Life's ending, so there was an expectation that he would be back in the sequel. And yet, fears that he would not be part of the film after there were no details of his involvement came true.
Related Bad Boys: Ride Or Die's 13 Easter Eggs & References Explained Bad Boys: Ride or Die has a lot of sly references to the history of the franchise, featuring cameos from other stars and previous characters. Although there is no mention of Reyes in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, a return could have made sense. The main story includes connections to Bad Boys II and the investigation that Reyes was part of. Mike and Marcus could have reunited with their former colleague to try and clear Howard's name and take down the new villains. Instead, Mateo Reyes is completely forgotten about, with his fate left unknown and for another movie to potentially address.
