In a recent interview with People magazine, Kevin Bacon expressed his excitement about working with Eddie Murphy on the upcoming Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. Bacon described it as a “bucket list thing” to work with Murphy, who he regards as one of the greatest movie stars ever.
In the Mark Molloy-directed film, Murphy reprises his iconic role as Detroit detective Axel Foley, while Bacon portrays Captain Grant. Despite rising to fame around the same time in the 80s, the two actors did not have many interactions back then. Bacon admitted that their paths never crossed in the 80s, but he praised Murphy for his comedic skills, noting that Murphy’s improvisation skills were truly outstanding.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is set to premiere on Netflix on July 3rd. The film follows Murphy’s character returning to Beverly Hills to protect his daughter, teaming up with new partner Detective Bobby Abbott (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and old friends John Taggart (John Ashton) and Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) to uncover a conspiracy. Get ready for some action-packed entertainment with this star-studded cast!
