Which Movies Star Ice Cube and Mike Epps Together?
Ice Cube and Mike Epps have appeared together in several comedies, notably Next Friday (2000), All About the Benjamins (2002) and Friday After Next (2002). Ice Cube plays Craig Jones in the Friday sequels, while Epps plays his cousin Day-Day. They did not co-star as Craig and Day-Day in the original Friday (1995), which featured Chris Tucker as Smokey.
Next Friday: the introduction of Day-Day
In Next Friday, Craig spends time with his cousin Day-Day after moving away from his original neighborhood situation. The changed setting gives Epps space to establish a different comedic partnership with Ice Cube. It is a sequel to Friday, but the character Day-Day is not a replacement name for Smokey; he is a different relative with his own role.
All About the Benjamins: a different dynamic
This 2002 action comedy pairs Ice Cube as bounty hunter Bucum Jackson with Epps as Reggie Wright. Their relationship blends pursuit, reluctant cooperation and escalating trouble around stolen diamonds and a valuable lottery ticket. It is not part of the Friday continuity, even though the actors' banter is a key attraction.
Friday After Next: Craig and Day-Day return
The 2002 holiday-set sequel reunites Craig and Day-Day in another comedy involving work, money and neighborhood complications. Identifying the film by its complete title avoids confusing it with Next Friday. The duo's return belongs to this existing released film, not a speculative future franchise installment.
Check credits before expanding the list
A poster featuring one actor or an article about a proposed project is not proof they share a finished movie. Filmography pages, studio credits and on-screen roles offer a better basis for a collaboration list. The most useful approach records the title, year and each actor's character instead of padding a list with unrelated projects.
