Not going to lie, not only did I not have a new Bad Lieutenant movie on the list for 2026 but I absolutely didn’t have Lily James starring in a Takashi Miike movie.
But here we are.
A disgraced Tokyo detective spirals into a world of corruption, addiction, and violence as he becomes entangled in a twister investigation involving a vengeful ex-Yakuza, an enigmatic FBI agent, and a missing daughter of a powerful American family.
Mahershala Ali walks from Blade movie: “If they wanted to do it, we would’ve done it.”
Directed by Takashi Miike and written by Daisuke Tengan, it is the third instalment in the Bad Lieutenant film series, and a standalone sequel to Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009). The film stars Shun Oguri, Lily James, and Liv Morgan.
Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2026.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
