Last Friday (2026) – First Trailer | Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, Mike Epps

The screen opens with the familiar, slow-panning shot of South Central Los Angeles. The sun is setting, casting a warm glow over the neighborhood as the sound of classic hip-hop plays in the background. The camera zooms in on a familiar house — Craig Jones’ (Ice Cube) humble abode. It’s been years since the last chaotic day, and everything seems peaceful… for now.

Narrator (Chris Tucker’s voice as Smokey, with a mischievous tone):
“You know it’s been a minute, but this Friday… we back, baby.”

Cue a sudden, wild horn honk — the camera snaps to Smokey, now older but just as chaotic, cruising through the neighborhood in a beat-up lowrider, waving like he’s the mayor.

Smokey (Chris Tucker, laughing):
“Craig! Wake up, man! It’s time to get into some trouble! Ain’t no such thing as a quiet Friday!”

Cut to:
Craig Jones (Ice Cube), now a little more mature, still rocking his signature look, opening the door to his house in disbelief as Smokey pulls up. Craig raises an eyebrow, but there’s a sense of excitement mixed with exasperation in his expression.

Craig (Ice Cube, shaking his head):
“Man, what are you up to now?”

Smokey (winking, leaning out the car window):
“The question is… what aren’t we up to? Let’s get this Friday poppin’!”

Cut to:
Day-Day (Mike Epps), now living in his own place but still up to no good, getting dragged into the madness. He’s talking to a sketchy character in an alley, looking nervously over his shoulder.

Day-Day (Mike Epps, with a concerned look):
“Man, I swear, every Friday is the same — something always goes wrong. And I end up in trouble!”

The trailer cuts to a series of hilarious hijinks:

• Smokey getting himself stuck in a ridiculous situation involving a stolen car and a group of angry neighbors.
• Craig and Day-Day accidentally starting a feud with a local gang, leading to a chaotic car chase through the streets.
• The trio having to deal with crazy new characters, including a wild new neighbor who’s looking to stir up trouble and some hilarious run-ins with old friends from past Fridays.

Craig (determined):
“Look, I’m too old for this mess, but if you drag me back into this again, I’mma have to show you why I don’t play.”

Smokey (laughing):
“Man, we don’t stop, Craig. It’s like a cycle. Trouble finds us, no matter what!”

The camera flashes through quick scenes of unexpected reunions:

• Deebo (Tommy Lister) returning in a cameo role, even bigger and more menacing than before.
• Uncle Elroy (John Witherspoon) making his classic, hilarious commentary on the chaos.
• Hilarious moments with the old crew, including Red, the forever-unlucky neighbor, getting tangled in the drama.

Smokey (to Craig, as the chaos escalates):
“Man, we don’t ever learn, do we? But at least we got each other.”

The trailer culminates with an epic, over-the-top showdown:

• Craig, Smokey, and Day-Day standing side-by-side, ready to face whatever ridiculous situation comes their way.
• Deebo challenges Craig to an old-fashioned fight, but just when things seem at their worst, the crew uses their wit and street smarts to turn the tables in a classic, laugh-out-loud moment.

Craig (smirking):
“It’s always something with you, Smokey. But you know what? Let’s finish this… one last time.”

Text on screen: “Last Friday – Coming Soon, 2026.”

The trailer ends with a final shot of Craig and Smokey walking down the street, with Day-Day trailing behind them, laughing and shaking his head.

Smokey (final line, laughing):
“Man, I told you we were gonna have some fun this Friday!”
