Mike Epps shares exciting news about the next installment of the beloved Friday film franchise and makes a heartfelt plea for Chris Tucker to reprise his iconic role. In a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, Epps revealed that the much-anticipated fourth Friday movie has officially been greenlit, with Ice Cube giving the green light for "Last Friday."
Epps expressed his enthusiasm for the project, mentioning that the script holds promise and hints at a blend of new and familiar faces in the cast. He emphasized the importance of having Chris Tucker, known for his role as Smokey, return to the franchise, acknowledging Tucker's immense popularity with fans and the pivotal role he played in setting the stage for Epps' character.
