It's been more than 20 years since audiences last saw Craig and Day-Day on the big screen, but Ice Cube is getting closer to bringing the beloved Friday franchise back for one final installment.
The rapper, actor, and filmmaker is moving forward with Last Friday, the highly anticipated fourth film in the classic comedy series.
Ice Cube recently shared an update on the project, revealing that filming is expected to begin in April 2027 and could continue through May or June. The upcoming comedy will be directed by Lawrence Lamont, with Ice Cube writing the screenplay based on a story developed alongside DJ Pooh, Aaron McGruder, and Mike Epps.
Fans can also look forward to seeing Ice Cube and Mike Epps reunite as Craig and Day-Day, the hilarious duo whose adventures have entertained audiences for decades.
However, one of the biggest questions surrounding the movie involves the possible return of Chris Tucker as Smokey.
Tucker became a fan favorite after starring alongside Ice Cube in the original Friday movie in 1995. Although he did not appear in the subsequent films, fans have continued hoping he would eventually reprise his role.
According to Ice Cube, Tucker is interested in returning, but his involvement has not been officially confirmed.
As for the storyline, Ice Cube is keeping the details under wraps. While fans are eager to discover what Craig and Day-Day will get into next, the filmmaker has promised that the movie will deliver plenty of laughs.
An official theatrical release date has not been confirmed.
With nostalgia continuing to bring classic movies back into the spotlight, Last Friday could be one of the most anticipated comedy reunions in years.
Would you watch Last Friday without Chris Tucker, or does Smokey need to return for the franchise's final movie?
