Here’s Who Plays Who in Beverley Hills Cop: Axel F

Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley

There wouldn’t be a Beverley Hills Cop without Eddie Murphy and the actor/comedian slips back into the role almost effortlessly. Axel is investigating a case linked to friend Billy Rosewood and, as you might expect, shenanigans and shoot-outs ensure.

He is a little wiser, though. “At this point, heā€™s been there many times, has friends there, and has seen the crazy stuff thatā€™s in the city. Heā€™s not taken by surprise”, Murphy explains. He used some of his improv skills, honed on Saturday Night Live, in the making of the movie.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Detective Bobby Abbott

While Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F does feature Axel’s former partners-in-crime Billy Rosewood and John Taggart, he gets a new partner in the form of Detective Bobby Abbot. He’s less of a loose cannon than Axel, which makes for some interesting interplay.

“That kind of guy pushes Axelā€™s buttons, and that tension makes those scenes between our characters so much fun,ā€ Gordon-Levitt says. You may recognise Gordon-Levitt from Looper, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises and many, many other movies.

Taylour Paige as Jane Saunders

Jane Saunders is Axel Foley’s estranged daughter in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel-F, which gives him another reason to get to the bottom of whatever conspiracy is brewing. She’s played by Taylour Paige, who had the lead in comedy crime thriller Zola, a movie based on a bizarre Twitter thread. Paige was initially terrified about working with Eddie Murphy, telling Netflix, “The only way I could break the ice was to say, ā€˜I watchedĀ The Nutty Professor 98 times. I want to talk to you about it.'”

Kevin Bacon as Captain Cade Grant

Cade Grant runs the Beverley Hills PD’s narcotics task force and the fact he’s played by Kevin Bacon should be an immediate clue he’s up to no good. You’ll have seen Bacon in Tremors, Super and so, so many other films.

On top of that, there are many other familiar faces. Paul Reiser returns as Axel’s Detroit partner Jeffrey, though you’ll probably know him as Burke from Aliens. Bronson Pinchot is back as Serge and John Ashton and Judge Reinhold reprise their roles as John Taggart and Billy Rosewood respectively.
