Ice Cube Delivers Another Promising ‘Last Friday’ Update

Earlier this year, Ice Cube gave a positive update on the fourth installment of his Friday film series, telling Flavor Flav that he and Warner Bros. were “working on it” and that they “finally got some traction” during an appearance on public Enemy hypeman’s SiriusXM show.

The West Coast rapper and filmmaker is back with another update and he seems more confident than before. When appearing on A million dollars at stake podcast with former rapper Gillie Da Kid and motivational speaker Wallo, the Philadelphia cousins ​​asked Cube if the fan-favorite franchise was returning. “Yes, it’s coming back,” he replied. “We will do whatever it takes to make it amazing, make it funny, update it, introduce new characters, bring back old characters, create the feeling that the movie gives.”

He added: “People love Friday because everyone has experienced it. People love it Friday because everyone lived Friday. Hanging out with friends, with friends, with cousins ​​trying to figure out what they’re going to do today, just traveling around the neighborhood. It’s so relatable that way because everyone has lived a thousand Fridays.”

Things weren’t always looking Last Fridayhowever. In 2022, while sitting with Mike Tyson in his Hot box podcast, Cube seemed indifferent to working with the film studio. “I don’t know. Warner Bros. is weird right now. I don’t know what they’re doing, they don’t know what they’re doing,” he said at the time.

The last installment of the franchise was 2002 Friday after next.
