‘Bad Boys 4’: Jacob Scipio Returns in Will Smith and Martin Lawrence Sequel


"Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" actor Jacob Scipio will return to the "Bad Boys" franchise as main antagonist, Variety has learned.

Scipio, who most recently starred opposite Pedro Pascal and Nicolas Cage in the meta adventure “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” will reprise his role as Armando Aretas – the estranged son of Will Smith ’s Miami-Dade police detective character Mike Lowery. Scipio is getting a narrative upgrade from his debut in 2020’s “Bad Boys for Life,” we hear, as the script will see him play the main antagonist in the action film led by Smith and Martin Lawrence. The British actor has additionally starred in Michael B. Jordan’s “Without Remorse,” the hit Netflix series “Pieces of Her” led by Toni Collette, “Expend4bles,” and the highly anticipated “Batgirl” which was notoriously shelved by Warner Bros.
