Will Smith | Bright

Two-time Academy Award nominee Will Smith has had his fair share of movies to his credit. Unsurprisingly, some are blockbusters, such as Men In Black, Ali, and The Pursuit of Happiness. Moreover, he has also tried out several genres, including comedy and drama. We are sure that every time his name appears on the posters, that movie sells out.

Given this fact, the producers behind Bright, where Smith took on the starring role, plan to pay him $35 million for the sequel. So this movie has not happened yet, but the payment terms have already seen settlement. It isn’t apparent if the deal is like that of Arnold Schwarzenegger, where he would still receive whether the movie is released or not. Nevertheless, considering how Hancock made $629 million, partly due to Smith’s appearance, $35 million is peanuts. Indeed, Smith is a leading icon in how dynamic and successful a Hollywood actor should be in various movie genres.
