If the Beverly Hills Cop theme song isn't already rampaging through your brain, it's about to — the first teaser for the return of Eddie Murphy's Axel Foley is here.

Directed by Mark Molloy, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F will see Murphy's detective paired with a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Axel's daughter's (Taylour Paige) life is on the line, so he reconnects with his buddies Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to get to the bottom of it all.

The fourth film in the franchise, it's been written by Zack Snyder's Justice League/Aquaman scribe Will Beall with Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten, who wrote The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (which Gormican also directed).

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F hits cinemas summer 2024.
