Guests mingled at a nostalgic pre-party where they could pose with replicas of Axel’s classic Chevy Nova, rock Axel’s iconic Detroit jacket, and enjoy Detroit Coney dogs, Faygo soda, and Better Made chips served out of the Motor City Mini Mart.

Directed by Mark Molloy, Netflix’s biggest summer streaming event features Eddie doing what he does best: improvising!
“Some of the funniest moments in Axel F are when Eddie’s improvising,” said Molloy in an interview with TUDUM. “For me, a big part of my job was to create the right environment, cast the right people around Eddie to allow him to do what he does best.”
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F premieres July 3 on Netflix.
