There has been talk of excuses, vacations to heal, invitations and rejections, but Smith’s career is still in mid-air. However, a couple of pieces of news could change that.

Fresh off the scandal, Sony Pictures was the only studio to reiterate its support for Will Smith. Tom Rothman, president of the study, commented that he would be willing to give the green light to the film Bad Boys 4 (also known as Two Bad Cops, which starred the actor with Martin Lawrence).

When the scandal broke, there was speculation that this production had been cancelled, but Rothman said otherwise.

That was a very unfortunate thing that happened (…)”, maintains Rothman. “I don’t think I should comment on it, except to say I have known Will Smith for many years and I know he is a good person.”
