If Vice Principals isn’t fulfilling your desire for high school-set hijinks amongst faculty, next year we’re getting Fist Fight, a new comedy from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia director Richie Keen. Who knows. Anyway, Fist Fight sees Ice Cube facing off against Charlie Day, a fellow teacher who obviously has some sort of disagreement with his colleague. Take a look at the trailer below.

Fist Fight won’t break any comedic ground, but it should be a solid flick for folks looking for a laugh during one of the historically worst months for movie releases. There’s more to this drama than a wildly over-the-top scuffle, though, with Keen revealing that, “the truth of the matter is at this public high school on a very chaotic day, neither of their philosophies are working”. Hospitalized after a tragic traffic accident on the New Jersey Turnpike in 2014, Morgan is finally beginning to return to work.
Morgan’s at his best when he’s a supporting player and his grumpy gym teacher gets the best two lines in the first trailer.

The film is being produced by Shawn Levy, Max Greenfield, John Rickard, and Dan Cohen. You’d think both of them would be relieved on the last day of school that the year is finally over.
