Will Smith planning a post-slap comeback with “I am Legend” sequel

Those who thought it was over for him can’t help but wish for his comeback. People still haven’t gotten over the Hollywood factor of Will Smith and what he brought to the table. He is talent personified when it comes to delivering the "box office jingles"; his style and swagger are what people will remember for a long time. Warner Bros. had him for many of their movies. Right from Six Degrees of Separation, King Richard, Focus, Suicide Squad, etc., were all filmed with Will. So, if Will Smith has to sign off with some studio as his last big one, who but Warner Brothers can do the honours. His own production house, Westbrook Studios, is producing the film, and he is very much attached to the project.

After the Oscar incident with Chris Rock, many projects slipped from his fingers, like Netflix's Fast and Loose and Bright 2. Somehow, Sony Pictures' Tom Rothman didn’t give up on Will Smith and decided to go ahead with Bad Boys 4. The Oscars have banned Will Smith for a decade, but good for both Will Smith and the Oscar enterprise, they didn’t snatch back his first Oscar for best actor for King Richard.

Will Smith is also a rapper and has performed many hit rap songs with his childhood friend, DJ Jazzy Jeff. "Girls Ain't Nothing but Trouble" is a hit single by Will Smith and Jazzie Jeff.


So to round things off, Will Smith is in the limelight again, with the grapevine saying that the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard episode has helped people forget his slap-gate with Chris Rock. Recalling Rothman’s views that Will Smith will have to make a comeback boils down to which studio will give him that chance. Maybe that chance is here now.
