Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Bad Boys: Ride or Die!
After the success of Bad Boys movies spinning off into the L.A.'s Finest TV show already, but Bad Boys: Ride or Die could be setting up the franchise's first movie spinoff.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die properly bridged the gap between the original Bad Boys movies and the modern relaunch film Bad Boys for Life, with it crafting a story that tied every Bad Boys movie together. Bad Boys: Ride or Die saw returning characters from the original movies appear alongside new ones, proving just how big the franchise had gotten. Because of this and the continued box office success of the Bad Boys movies, it wouldn't be surprising to see some spinoff movies in the future, and Bad Boys: Ride or Die sets up these three as potential options.
Bad Boys: Ride Or Die's Ending Sets Up An Armando Spinoff
He Is The Third Bad Boy
The first spinoff movie that Bad Boys: Ride or Die sets up is based on the third true Bad Boy, Armando. Armando was first introduced in Bad Boys for Life, with him being the son of Will Smith's Mike Lowrey and one of the villains of the film. However, Mike and Marcus decide that they need his help in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, with him ing the team as the trio attempts to clear Captain Howard's name. Armando's redemption story proves that he is just as much of a Bad Boy as Mike or Marcus, proving that he could carry his own movie.

Every Major Death In Bad Boys: Ride Or Die Explained
Bad Boys: Ride or Die includes some major character deaths, as some original franchise stars and new additions are killed by the end of the movie.
Armando has a redemption arc throughout Bad Boys: Ride or Die, with him saving Callie at the end of the film. Because of this, Captain Howard's daughter decides to let him escape, despite the fact that he killed Howard in Bad Boys for Life. So, Armando is a hero now, but he is still on the run for his past crimes. Having a Bad Boys spinoff about Armando could be incredibly interesting, as it would continue the fugitive on the run storyline that Mike, Marcus, and Armando all had to deal with in Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
Bad Boys: Ride Or Die's Reggie Scene Proves He Could Lead A Spinoff
Paying Off Ride Or Die's Best Scene
Another incredibly interesting spinoff that Bad Boys: Ride or Die sets up has to do with Marcus' son-in-law, Reggie. Reggie's character was nothing more than a running gag in the first few Bad Boys movies, with him dating and then getting married to Marcus' daughter as the titular Bad Boys continued to show him no respect. It had previously been mentioned that Reggie was a marine, but Bad Boys: Ride or Die's Reggie scene paid this off by having him brutally defend the house against armed intruders in one of the film's best action scenes.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die proves that Reggie is more capable of handling action than Mike or Marcus, which is why a spinoff centered on him would be so fun. Reggie's quiet and more subtle demeanor would completely juxtapose him with Mike and Marcus, creating a new type of Bad Boys movie. A prequel focused on Reggie's time in the Marines or a story focused on a crime that only he can stop would be great for a Bad Boys spinoff, perfectly continuing one of the best moments from the fourth film.
Kelly & Dorn Could Lead An AMMO Spinoff With Rita After Bad Boys 4
& A Bad Boys For Life Character Could Return
The final spinoff movie that Bad Boys: Ride or Die sets up has to do with AMMO. AMMO is a team that was introduced in Bad Boys for Life, with it being a high-tech branch of the Miami Police Department that assists Mike and Marcus in the third and fourth films. Kelly and Dorn appear in both movies as of the team, with them being two of the main characters in Bad Boys: Ride or Die. An AMMO spinoff could show the adventures that Kelly and Dorn go on while not with Mike and Marcus.

Where Are Marcus' Sons In Bad Boys: Ride Or Die?
The Bad Boys franchise has seemingly forgotten about Marcus' sons, as Bad Boys: Ride or Die continues a mystery about where Quincy and James are.
Even more importantly, an AMMO spinoff could bring back Charles Melton's missing Bad Boys for Life character, Rafe. Rafe was a member of AMMO in Bad Boys for Life, but he doesn't appear and isn't mentioned in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, something that could be fixed in a spinoff.
