In an exclusive interview with Global Grind, Ice Cube was asked about Chris Tucker’s involvement in the film.

Cube admits that while there’s no solid agreement for Tucker to appear in the film yet, he’s still trying but with or without him… it’s going to happen.

Here’s what Cube had to say about Chris…

When asked if Tucker was actually back on board, Cube replies:

I hope so. I got a part written in for him. It?s really about Chris. I?m not going to beg him to be in the movie, but I?m going to ask him?twice. (laughs) And hopefully he?ll do it.

We?re trying to make a deal. That?s what the fans want. I want to give the fans what they want, but with or without Chris, we?re going to make you laugh.

It?s a funny movie. It?s a lot of funny, new characters that pop in, mixed with a lot of the characters that we?ve known over the three movies. It?s crazy and it?s back to the basics. (source)

Can “Final Friday” truly be “Friday” without Chris Tucker?
