Eddie Murphy Is Back In Action In ‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’ Trailer

Eddie Murphy returns to the 90210 zip code in the Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F official trailer. Shared Thursday (May 23) by Netflix, the film reprises the Beverly Hills Cop franchise on the streamer. The installment, Beverly Hills Cop III, was released in 1994.

In the clip, the titular character circles back to his old ways. The official synopsis reads as follows:

“Detective Axel 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.“

Murphy, as well as Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, and director Mark Molloy are producers on the film.

“I did Axel Foley when I was in my 20s. I am not in my 20s anymore. It was an action movie. So it was a rough one. But we got through it,” detailed the 63-year-old movie star to PEOPLE Magazine in November 2023.

“It’s a really physical movie and I had to do some physical stuff… I like to be on the couch, I don’t like to be jumping over and shooting and running,” he continued, “And I had to do some jumping and shooting and running. And as a result… at the end of the movie, I had a knee brace and my back is messed up. But the movie is gonna be special.”

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F premieres on Netflix on July 3, 2024. Watch the trailer above.
