We've waited 16 years to see Will Smith and Martin Lawrence gear up again for a new Bad Boys movie, and now we have our first proper look at the long awaited third outing.

The first trailer for Bad Boys for Life has finally dropped, showing detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett back in business.

The action-packed clip sees the two reunite, blended with the usual dose of hilarious one-liners. We certainly can't wait.

The third movie in the franchise sees the pair clash with a modern and highly specialised police unit, as a new threat emerges in Miami.

Also on board for the ride are Joe Pantoliano, who reprises his role as boss Captain Howard, while the likes of Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Charles Melton, Jacob Scipio and Paola Nuñez all join.

Also popping-up in the movie is DJ Khaled, who is taking on an unknown role (though hopefully he won't be playing himself).
