Ice Cube, known for his role in the classic comedy Friday, recently provided an update on the much-anticipated fourth installment of the beloved franchise. After more than two decades since the last sequel was released, fans of the series have been eagerly awaiting any news on a potential follow-up.
In a recent interview on Flavor Flav’s SiriusXM show, Ice Cube revealed that there has been significant progress in the development of the new Friday film. He mentioned that Warner Bros. has shown interest in reviving the franchise, with executive Mike DeLuca at the helm. DeLuca, who has a history with Ice Cube from their work on previous projects, expressed a keen interest in bringing the comedic series back to life.
Despite initial talks with New Line Cinema back in 2011, Ice Cube faced challenges in getting the fourth Friday movie off the ground. He expressed frustration with the studio for dragging their feet on the project, especially considering the unfortunate passing of key cast members like John Witherspoon, Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister Jr., and Anthony ‘AJ’ Johnson.
Ice Cube emphasized the importance of ensuring that the new installment of Friday is handled with care and respect for the franchise’s legacy. He made it clear that he was unwilling to move forward with the project unless it was done properly, acknowledging the significance of maintaining the spirit of the original films.
With Warner Bros. on board and a renewed sense of commitment to the project, Ice Cube remains hopeful that fans will finally get to see the fourth installment of the Friday franchise come to fruition. The actor and rapper expressed gratitude for the studio’s renewed interest and dedication to making the movie a reality.
While the road to bringing back Friday has been long and challenging, Ice Cube’s perseverance and unwavering dedication to the project have paid off. With Warner Bros. on board and a renewed sense of purpose, the fourth installment of the iconic comedy series may soon become a reality for fans around the world.
