Netflix posted the first photo (below) of Eddie Murphy’s long-awaited return as Axel Foley in the fourth Beverly Hills Cop.
The first look shows Murphy’s character emerging with his hands up from what looks like a tipped over parking enforcement cart while wearing his trademark Detroit Lions jacket. The project is the first Beverly Hills Cop movie in 29 years, since the release of the lackluster Beverly Hills Cop 3.
The Netflix sequel — titled Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley — also reunites Murphy with franchise co-stars Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser and Bronson Pinchot.

Eddie Murphy is reuniting with his original “Beverly Hills Cop” co-stars — Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser and Bronson Pinchot — for the upcoming sequel, “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley.”
Netflix picked up the rights in 2019 to release the next “Beverly Hills Cop” movie, which is currently in production.
“Axel Foley” is the fourth installment in the hit action-comedy franchise, following 1984’s “Beverly Hills Cop,” 1987’s “Beverly Hills Cop II” and 1994’s “Beverly Hills Cop III.” For the fourquel, producers opted to ditch the roman numerals and instead name the film after Murphy’s fish-out-of-water character, a Detroit police officer who travels to Los Angeles to investigate crimes.
Plot details for “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley” have been kept under wraps. Presumably, the story involves Axel Foley is returning to the 90210 to crack a new case.
