Will Smith is still getting it

Netflix cancels Will Smith's sequel to the 2017 action film 'Bright' and National Geographic delays production on 'Pole to Pole' after he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. Sources say that the reason for the movie’s cancellation is not related to the infamous slap. But isn’t it weird how a film in development for three years just gets scrapped out of the blue and coincidentally right when its star actor is facing controversy?

-Netflix has reportedly canned the sequel to Will Smith's 2017 action film 'Bright'.

-National Geographic nature series, 'Pole to Pole' has been paused until fall 2022.

-It follows the actor's now-infamous Oscars slap when Chris Rock joked about his wife's hair.

The actor's 2017 sci-fi action thriller 'Bright' directed by David Ayer, has been canceled by the streaming giant, according to a Bloomberg source. 

Sony is also putting the brakes on “Bad Boys 4,” which had been gearing up ahead of the awards show. The slave drama “Emancipation,” made for Apple+, has already been completed, the outlet reported.

His National Geographic nature series, 'Pole to Pole' which follows the 53-year-old star to the North and South Poles, and was set to begin filming in three weeks, has been paused until fall 2022, the news outlet reported.
