After more than three decades since the third installment’s release, it seems the beloved fan-favorite Axel Foley is returning to the big screens with the soon-to-be-released fourth installment, which has been titledBeverly Hills Cop: Axel F. And returning as him to once again lead the franchise is none other than Eddie Murphy, the actor who iconically embodied this character in the first three movies.
While the hype around this fourth film was already as great as ever, Murphy seems to have further heightened the excitement surrounding it with the release of the presumed masterpiece’s first clip starring him alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Bobby Abbott. And, as expected, Murphy putting his detective cap back on in this clip is enough to make evenBad BoyWill Smith quake in his boots.
Eddie Murphy is Killing it in the First Clip ofBeverly Hills Cop 4
If the previously released three installments in theBeverly Hills Copfilm series were jam-packed with phenomenal action sequences and some highly mastered comedy, know that you’re in for a much greater treat than expected.
This is becauseEddie Murphy, who has played the iconic lead role of Axel Foley in all the previous installments since 1978, has seemingly surpassed all of those bars and expectations in the upcomingBeverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
Besides the officially released trailers of this soon-to-be-released movie already proving just how tremendous of a masterpiece this just might end up being, the recently released first clip of the movie is further peaking all of those excitement levels among fans.

As can be seen in the clip, Murphy’s Axel andJoseph Gordon-Levitt‘s Bobby Abbott are trying to run away from the other cops because“they’re trying to kill us.”During this, Axel takes Bobby to the roof to get a hesitant Bobby to fly the helicopter standing there to escape.
However, little does he know that the reason why Bobby was nervous was that, although he was trained during his term in the LAPD, he didn’t exactly know how to perfectly fly a helicopter and even“crashed the f—ing helicopter”during his training, leading to him leaving the LAPD.

Hilariously enough,that was hardly what Murphy’s Axel expected, and as he screams at Bobby to“Wait! Shut it down!”the last sequence of the clip showed the helicopter plunging straight down the building on which it stood, leading to the characters being terrified to the bone as they fall.
Needless to say, this iconic sequence was as action-packed and thrilling as it was hilarious and could have literally anyone screaming in excitement — something that Murphy has been used to doing ever since he first starred as Axel in the firstBHCmovie back in 1984.
That being said, this clip is also enough to make evenWill Smith, who recently had his stunning action-drunk-to-the-coreBad Boy: Ride or Diereleased, quaking in his boots at just how immaculately Murphy pulled off this iconic sequence in his upcoming movie.
