Plans for the development of a fourth Friday movie are in the works, according to Actor and Producer Ice Cube.

“We’re working on it. We finally got some traction with Warner Bros.,” Ice Cube said while giving an update during his recent appearance on Flavor Flav’s SiriusXM show “Flavor of the Week.

‘….We finally got some traction with Warner Bros.,” Ice Cube said. “They have new leadership, my man Mike De Luca, who used to be at New Line when I first started, when I first did the first ‘Friday’ and ‘Players Club’ and ‘All About the Benjamins.’ Mike De Luca was there…So, now he’s running Warner Bros. And him and my man Michael Gruber was like, ‘Yo, what the fuck is going on with “Friday”? Man, let’s get this shit back online.’”

Cube previously noted that the film’s long-awaited development was being stalled by Warner Bros, who owns the name rights to the characters, during Mike Tyson’s “Hotboxin” podcast in 2022.

“I don’t know. Warner Bros. is weird right now,” Cube said at the time on Mike Tyson’s “Hotboxin’” podcast when asked about the fourth “Friday” movie. “I don’t know what they’re doing.

He continued, “They don’t know what they’re doing. We’d love to have it back. I think it’s going be close to a time when we get it back. So, we’ll either wait for that time, or we’ll keep trying to convince them that they need to let us control the movie. It’s my movie, but they have distribution control.”
