In 2024, Eddie Murphy became the latest major star to return to a legacy franchise with the release of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, which had a streaming debut on Netflix. Reuniting with the late John Ashton (Sergeant John Taggart), Judge Reinhold (Detective Billy Rosewood), and Bronson Pinchot (Serge), he also returned to the spotlight alongside franchise newcomers Taylour Paige (Jane Saunders), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Detective Bobby Abbot), and Kevin Bacon (Captain Cade Grant). The film gave Axel Foley his first new adventure in 30 years, bringing him back to Beverly Hills when his daughter's life is threatened, before even more chaos ensues in Southern California.
