New Will Smith movies reportedly shelved, including Bad ...
Will Smith's new Netflix movie could also be in doubt
www.gamesradar.comHere are the latest updates on Will Smith’s movie projects, based on recent coverage:
-
Fast and Loose and related projects: Reports in mid-2025 indicated that pre-production on the Netflix action film Fast and Loose stalled in the aftermath of the Oscars incident, with director changes and the project proceeding "on the back burner" rather than moving into full production. This was described in outlets like The Hollywood Reporter and later summarized by entertainment sites [citation: THR via IMDb article summaries]. It remained unclear when or if the project would resume production as of late 2025 [citation: IMDb/Rolling Stone summaries].
-
Bad Boys sequels: Bad Boys 4/Ride or Die continued to be highlighted as part of Will Smith’s upcoming slate, with box office performance for related entries contributing to ongoing development. Some reporting suggested his participation in related franchise projects could anchor future installments, though exact release timelines fluctuated with production status [citation: IMDb news roundups and ScreenRant summaries].
-
I Am Legend and other potential projects: Coverage of potential returns to legacy properties like I Am Legend and other high-profile concepts surfaced periodically, but many of these remained in development or rumor stages, contingent on project viability and studio schedules [citation: ScreenRant and Yahoo Entertainment roundups].
-
Emancipation and other in-production work: Emancipation and similar in-production titles were cited in various outlets as part of his post-slap career rebound, with some projects moving toward release while others faced delays or shifts in release strategy [citation: GamesRadar and Yahoo Entertainment summaries].
