Even before Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley, the fourth film in the hit action-comedy series, hits Netflix, talk of a fifth movie instalment is already being talked about – seemingly by the film’s lead himself, Eddie Murphy. A Beverly Hills Cop 5 film would be well off in the future as this fourth movie doesn’t hit until 3rd July and it all probably depends on how this sits with audiences.

While out and about promoting the movie, the 63 year old actor stopped by Today where he spoke abut his love for the new movie and potential future follow-ups. Would he be up for a Beverly Hills Cop 5 film?
“I hope so because this movie turned out so good, especially if you grew up watching the movie, then you’ll really, really love this new picture,” Murphy said. “‘Beverly Hills Cop’ was my first movie that I’m the lead in. And if I travel overseas, they call me Axel Foley. To this (day), they’ll call me, ‘Alex Foley’. Axel is the everyman. He’s not a superhero or supercop. He’s the everyman that rises to the occasion. I think that’s why people like him. And, more than anything, he’s funny.”
In Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley, Detective Foley (Eddie Murphy) is back on the beat in Beverly Hills. After his daughter’s life is threatened, she (Taylour Paige) and Foley team up with a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and old pals Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to turn up the heat and uncover a conspiracy.

Really hoping this new one is as great as the first two movies. I wasn’t a huge fan of number 3 but can you believe that Beverly Hills Cop III was released 30 years ago this year? While the new film hits Netflix on 3rd July, the original debuted in 1984 and the follow-up in 1987.
More on a potential Beverly Hills Cop 5 film as we get it.
