The long-awaited fourth installment of the 'Friday' franchise has been green-lit after years of delays due to rights disputes.

  • Mike Epps revealed during an interview on 'The Breakfast Club' that the deal for 'Last Friday' has been finalized, with Ice Cube confirming the news.
  • The franchise's fourth film has faced years of development delays, primarily due to disagreements between Ice Cube and Warner Bros. over creative control.
  • Epps praised Ice Cube for his role in elevating numerous comedians through the 'Friday' series, including Bernie Mac, Chris Tucker, and himself.
  • Epps expressed hope that Chris Tucker, who played Smokey in the original film, might return, though Tucker has previously cited concerns about the character's portrayal of weed use.
