Will Smith is rumored to return in Bad Boys III. Michael Bay on several interviews, has stated that he is open to the idea. He has also said that it is most likely to happen.
That's not all. Instead of Martin Lawrence returning, Bay wants Lawrence to retire in a third film if one comes up. He thinks that 50 Cent would be the best candidate for a "noob" in the police force for Smith to train.
