Not For MY Marcus! Fans React To Tasha Smith Reportedly Replacing Theresa Randle In ‘Bad Boys 4’

As further details surrounding the decision and plot are unclear, fans are left looking back on Theresa Randle’s contributions to the Bad Boys films.

Following the initial 1995 movie, Randle reprised her role as Theresa for Bad Boys II, which premiered in 2003. Seventeen years later, the squad linked up for the third installment of the film franchise: Bad Boys for Life.

Now, however, it appears as though Theresa Randle’s Boy Boys journey has come to an end.

For Tasha Smith, on the other hand, her work with the franchise is just starting.

From starring in projects like Tyler Perry‘s Why Did I Get Married Too? and Empire to directing episodes of P-Valley, Black Mafia Family, and Bel Air, Tasha brings various experiences to the role!

Nah I don’t like this 😭 love Tasha but she could’ve been a new character. I can’t see anyone else playing Theresa’s role. Like are they about to give the character more screentime or some? https://t.co/qLA0sS7EDL

Some specified that they feel as though Tasha’s personality doesn’t fit Theresa Burnett’s characterization.

Not sure how I feel about this one…Theresa is a laid back wife and Tasha would have to tone it down.. https://t.co/iyPb2Zz4YL

Theresa is mild-mannered and soft spoken. Don’t nobody wanna hear Tasha Smith LOUD ass.

And what are the odds of her getting another husband named ‘Marcus’ 😩

One user even suggested that she would’ve liked to see the role go to Nia Long, Lela Rochon, or “literally anyone else.” Oop!

Tasha Smith as the wife in bad boys 4? I’m sorry …no. 😂😂 why didn’t they get Nia Long? Is LeLe Rochon retired?? What about literally anyone else? 💀💀

Humorously, others couldn’t help but speculate that Tasha will “say ‘MARCUS’ so d*mn loud.”

I love both women but Tasha Smith gon say “MARCUS” so damn loud as usual https://t.co/bukf4Oa9nl

While some disagreed with the casting decision, others supported Tasha Smith taking over as Theresa.

OMG. This is good news. Can't wait to see this. Will we be getting drama queen, sophisticated or someone in between, Tasha.

One user proclaimed, “Tasha Smith should have played Marcus’ wife from the start because the original wife was giving nothing.” Ouch!
