Actor Eddie Murphy has confirmed that a fifth installment in the long-running action-comedy franchise is already in development. The fourth part, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, will begin streaming on Netflix on July 3.
As indicated by Murphy, recording the fourth part negatively affected him. Meanwhile, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F drops on Netflix one month from now, and it will be right around a long time since fans last saw Eddie Murphy’s Axel Foley. Beverly Hills Cop has now grown from just a film into a clique classic.
In an interview with “Variety,” Eddie Murphy stated,
“They’re developing it,” he said, adding, “If it comes together, we’ll be doing another one.” Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced all four films, added that they “have a couple of stories in mind” for Axel Foley’s next adventure.
Murphy and Bruckheimer’s affirmation came a couple of days after the former shared that he wouldn’t see any problems with playing Detroit cop Axel Foley once more.
“I hope so because this movie turned out so good, especially if you grew up watching the movie, then you’ll love this new picture,” the star added.
Also, Murphy admitted that he didn’t think the show would succeed when it started in 1984, when he was 23 years old. The first movie, which came out 40 years ago, was a big hit and was renewed for three sequels. Beverly Hills Cop, the fourth: On July 3, 2024, Axel F. will begin streaming on Netflix.

Eddie Murphy shared a few insights concerning the health problems he experienced during the recording of Beverly Slopes Cop: Axel F. His knee took a misfortune even before the shoot started, unexpectedly while he was dozing.
“I didn’t mess my knee up doing a stunt. I messed my knee up sleeping. I literally was sleeping one night and I felt a pop in my knee.”
Murphy revealed he thought he was sleeping wrong. However, he further mentioned that when he woke up, he realized he had pulled something. The actor concluded by saying, “When you get in your 60s, you can mess your body up just sleeping.”
After Paramount entered into a one-time licensing agreement with Netflix to produce the sequel, which included an option for another follow-up, Beverly Hills Cop 4 finally came together toward the end of 2019.
