Last Friday is in the works.

LOS ANGELES — “You got knocked the f*ck out!” Only took 22 years but it’s finally gonna happen. During a recent appearance on Flavor Flav’s SiriusXM show (Flavor of the Week), Ice Cube announced “Last Friday” is in the works. Yessir. It’ll be the fourth and final installment in the popular film series. The last movie, “Friday After Next,” came out in 2002. “We’re working on it,” Cube told Flavor Flav. “We finally got some traction with Warner Bros. They have new leadership. My man Mike DeLuca — who used to be at New Line [Cinema] when I first started, when I first did the first Friday and Players Club and All About the Benjamins — Mike DeLuca was there. So, now he’s running Warner Bros. And him and my man Michael Gruber was like, ‘Yo, what the f*ck is going on with Friday? Man, let’s get this sh*t back online.’” Chris Tucker, a born-again Christian who’s against smoking marijuana and using profanity, said he’s open to reprising his weed-puffin’ role of Smokey.

But he lambasted Warner Bros. for taking their sweet time.

“It’s studios, and they gotta want to do it,” Chris, 52, told Big Tigger during a chinwag on Atlanta’s V-103 radio station.

“And then it’s producers and all that stuff. It’s a lot that goes with it.”

Cube, 55, shared a homogeneous sentiment. Since the first “Friday” was released in 1995, three of its stars have died. There will be no Mr. Jones, no Deebo, and no Ezal. “You know, I was a little hot because they had took so long,” Cube admitted to Flav. “John Witherspoon passed away, [Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister Jr.] passed away, [Anthony ‘AJ’ Johnson] passed away. I’m like, ‘Man, we keep losing people, and y’all keep dicking around, not doing the movie the way it needed to be done.’”

Social media reaction was pessimistic.

One commenter wrote, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Another chimed in with, “Won’t be the same without Tiny Lister Jr, John Witherspoon and AJ Johnson.”

A third viewer added, “They waited too long. 65% of the cast is dead💀.”

My thing is, what’s the plot?

You can’t have Craig and Smokey unemployed while sedentary on a porch, puffin’ marijuana all day in their 50s.

They’re too old for that sh*t.

One mo’ thang…

What about Mrs. Parker?

You know, the sexy housewife married to a midget who f*cked the town pastor behind his back?

Is she still beddable after all these years?

Nevertheless…

The first “Friday” movie grossed around $28 million worldwide with an estimated budget of $3.5 million.

Do you want another sequel?

Or, should they leave the sh*t alone?
