The unit apparently plans to recast the role with the intention of starting filming next year—though there is uncertainty about the movie’s future altogether. Smith recently starred in Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which became a box-office success upon its release in June and has taken over $400 million globally. Speaking about a potential follow-up movie, the Oscar winner told Entertainment Weekly earlier this year: “Well, these younger actors are going to need to do more of the stunts, that’s for sure. It is a world and characters that are just an absolute joy to be with.”

He admitted that he likes to do sequels if “there is something to say” and characters are developed in a way that “will be interesting and fun to watch and maybe even a little helpful”. Meanwhile, Smith was recently confirmed to be starring in sci-fi thriller Resistor, which will see him team up with studio Sony once again.
