Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reunited on Monday to begin the filming of Bad Boys for Life 3 in Atlanta. Reprising their characters Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett respectively, the actors embark on filming the witty, crime-busting cops in the streets of Miami.

Earlier this month, Smith had leaked a photo of the movie that seemed to show its official title will be Bad Boys For Lif3. But Khaled’s photo showed him posing by a chair with the conventional name Bad Boys for Life.
