Martin Lawrence Confirms "Bad Boys 3" In The Works

Signs are good for a "Bad Boys 3."
Martin Lawrence told Conan O'Brien that he's expecting to reteam with Will Smith on a third installment of the buddy action comedy franchise.

"I believe so, yes," Lawrence said of the rumors of another "Bad Boys." "I just talked to (producer) Jerry Bruckheimer. He said it's real, they're working on a script.

They're getting close and it all looks good."

There's plenty of financial incentive for Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay to dust off the franchise -- the 1995 original and 2003 sequel earned a combined $414.7 million worldwide at the box office.

The original also helped launch Smith from a sitcom actor to action movie stardom.

Lawrence, who currently stars in the FX sitcom, "Partners," told O'Brien that there would be a part for him in the new movie.

"You know what you could play? A crooked cop on crack," he said.
