Lethal Weapon 5

January 28, 2020

With every franchise you ever loved coming back, from THE Matrix to Bad Boys, prepare yourself to ride along with Riggs and Murtaugh one more time as producer Dan Lin has stated that development is progressing on Lethal Weaapon 5!

It’s been 22 years since Riggs and Murtaugh were tearing up the streets of Los Angeles and even back then, Lethal Weapon 4 felt like the end of the series. Murtaugh had been saying he’s too old for police work going all the way back to the original film, but in the fourth entry, it was Riggs who was finally succumbing to the rigors of it. By the end of the movie, Murtaugh became a grandfather and Riggs a father.

In a recent roundtable for The Hollywood Reporter, Lin dropped this tasy nugget about the beloved buddy cop franchise.

"We’re trying to make the last Lethal Weapon movie. And Dick Donner’s coming back," said Lin. "The original cast is coming back. And it’s just amazing. The story itself is very personal to him. Mel and Danny are ready to go, so it’s about the script."

That’s not a definitive yes to the movie happening, but I don’t think Lin would’ve mentioned it if he wasn’t confident it was going to get off the ground.

In any case, we’d certainly love to see the old team get back together for Lethal Weapon 5.
