Ride Or Die Saw Reggie Come Into His Own
After first being introduced inBad Boys 2back in 2003, Reggie has served as a minor character in the franchise, often as comic relief due to his interactions with Marcus.Reggie finally gets his time to shine inBad Boys: Ride or Die, though, proving himself just as capable a fighter as his father-in-law and Mike. This action sequence is especially satisfying given how the character is portrayed in past installments, and it’s a high point mentioned in manyBad Boys: Ride or Diereviews.
Bad Boys: Ride or Dieearned somewhat lukewarm reviews from critics, but has been a big hit with audiences. It currently sports a 63% critics' score and an impressive 97% audience score onRotten Tomatoes.
Although Reggie’s action scene certainly seems to be a highlight ofBad Boys: Ride or Diefor audiences, a Reggie spinoff could be a hard sell. Commercially, the movie might literally be a hard sell since McDonald isn’t a bankable action star. Smith and Lawrence, the former especially, are a big part of why theBad Boysmovies have been so enduringly popular. McDonald, however, hasn’t starred in a movie outside the hit franchise.
Every Returning Actor In Bad Boys: Ride Or Die
The latest installment in the Bad Boys franchise featured several familiar faces returning for significant roles and cameo appearances.
Reggie works well as one piece in a larger puzzle, and telling a story in which he’s the main focus could be a challenge. That being said, Reggie’s action scene in the latest film certainly suggests that McDonald should return and play a bigger role in theprospectiveBad Boys 5opposite Smith and Lawrence. While a Reggie spinoff afterBad Boys: Ride or Dieseems unlikely, the character has certainly now cemented himself as a core part of the franchise.
