Bringing an exciting franchise to an end, Mike Epps confirmed through his interview with The Breakfast Club that the final movie from the ‘Friday’ franchise is currently in the works.
Known for his iconic role in the unforgettable ‘Friday After Next’ as Day-Day, the actor said he received a call from Ice Cube. The legendary rapper, actor and filmmaker explained that they finished the deal. As far as the film’s creative direction, Epps told The Breakfast Club that the cast would include the younger generation specifically naming DC Young Fly and wanting Chris Tucker to return as “Smokey” from the original film released in 1995.
Epps shared, “People still love Chris Tucker, he’s still Smokey. He laid it down, he positioned me to do it. So Chris, if you’re listening, we need you, baby boy. Come on back.”
Last year in June, Ice Cube disclosed that he and Warner Bros were finally working thanks to the studio’s new leadership. According to reports, both parties were in a battle over rights and creative control.
