Summary Beverly Hills Cop 4, titled Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, is a highly anticipated sequel that will bring back Eddie Murphy as the iconic law enforcer.

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F will finally bring Eddie Murphy’s titular ultra-cool law enforcer back for Beverly Hills Cop 4, and after years in development progress on the movie is moving at full steam. The Beverly Hills Cop franchise helped write the formula for buddy-cop action comedies, with Eddie Murphy playing the lead from the very beginning in 1984. Beverly Hills Cop has spawned two sequels so far, with the most recent arriving in 1994. Now, over three decades later, the fourth movie Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is on the way.

Once again starring Eddie Murphy with Mark Malloy in the director's chair, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is due to arrive on Netflix, as the streamer is teaming up with Paramount to ensure Beverly Hills Cop 4 reaches patient franchise fans. With a cast that includes returning cast members like John Ashton and Paul Reiser alongside newcomers like Kevin Bacon and Joseph Gordon Levitt, there are plenty of reasons Axel Foley’s first movie in over three decades is so highly anticipated.
