Will Smith after the slap at the Oscars this is

We all remember the incident at the 94th Academy Awards: Will Smithenraged by a joke Chris Rock made about his wife’s alopecia, got on stage and slapped the host. A real scandal that has done a lot of damage to the career of the actor, shunned by Hollywood since this demonstration of violence. Nevertheless, it looks like the actor may soon be back in front of the cameras for a movie shoot… We reveal which one below!

Will smith soon forgiven and on his way to the movie sets?

Before the Oscars, Will Smith had been hired to star in the film Emancipation, directed by Antoine Fuqua and produced by the Apple TV channel, in which he plays the title role. But since the slap, the actor has not received a proposal to play, boycotted by the Hollywood industry which has decided to do not endorse his gesture by sanctioning it by being sidelined from the trays. But fortunately for the actor, who is trying by all means to redeem himself from this scandal, a studio, the most powerful there is, seems visibly ready to give up… You guessed it, it’s about Disney, and the reason for this forgiveness is above all financial! According to our colleagues from The Sun, the big-eared firm wants Will Smith once again embodies the genius in Aladdin 2the sequel to the first film released in 2019.

“It would be one of Will’s first films since the Oscars slap and that’s quite surprising, considering it’s going to be a kids’ movie. He’s done a lot of work on himself and everyone agrees that all of that will be a thing of the past by the time the movie comes out. The first movie was a huge hit, so it would be foolish not to make another one, and it would be such a shame to have to recast Will for what happened. Disney is therefore ready to support it and bring it back into the fold of the company”, can we read on the site of The Sun, according to one of their sources.

While last May we shared with you the rumor that Disney wanted to replace Will Smith with Dwayne Johnson (Black Adam) in order to avoid any bad publicity aroundAladdin 2, the situation seems to have changed. As a reminder, at the end of the first film, the genie is freed by the Prince of Thieves and then becomes human againwhich means that the sequel will not be an adaptation of the Return of Jafar… But that the spirit of the lamp will necessarily be in the cast! Nevertheless, switching actors in the middle of a franchise is rarely a good idea. We saw it in Fantastic Beasts, Mads Mikkelsen having replaced Johnny Depp in the role of Grindelwald at the time of his lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard. Strictly speaking, it would be better to “kill” the character of the genius. However, it would be better assume the casting of Will Smith until the end and keep it engineering in Aladdin 2, as seems to be the preferred option for studios currently. If Disney makes this choice, it will go in the direction of the words of the director ofAladdinGuy Ritchie, who confided last December to our colleagues from the Hollywood Reporter how much he likes working with the star.

I have never met a more charming man, and working with him was one of the most wonderful experiences and the most wonderful I have ever experienced. For my part, I only know his funny and generous side. I would have no problem casting him in a new movie because, like I said, he was always the perfect gentleman.

If Disney, Guy Ritchie and the main interested party, Will Smith, agree to continue the adventure with Aladdin 2you will be the first to know about Hitek!
