Blackfilm.com has exclusively learned that Theresa Randle is set to reprise her role as Theresa Burnett in Bad Boys For Life, the third installment in the Bad Boys franchise. The film is currently in production
She joins Martin Lawrence (Marcus Burnett) , Will Smith (Mike Lowrey), Joe Pantoliano (Captain Conrad Howard) and Bianca Bethune (Meghan Burnett) as returning characters. Except for Bethune, everyone else has appeared in the previous two films (1996’s Bad Boys, 2003’s Bad Boys II). Randle plays the wife of Marcus.
