Will Smith is the leading candidate to star as legendary (in his own mind) basketball coach
Jamie May. Maximum comedy, actual basketball story. Two major comedy directors circling
this wagon!

Outside of Bad Boys 3, he should have stopped doing sequels after MIB 2.

Personally though, I'm glad he took a break for a few years for he was starting to get over exposed. Django would have been a better return than MIB 3 though. It wasn't a bad movie, but it was missing a lot of the characters that made the first two great.

Probably didn't want to do the sex abuse scene with Samuel L. Jackson.

Don't remember the movie very will. Didn't Will's character die at the end? Also, of course he's the sequel guy, that's why he's doing MIB3. Other than the MIB movies, what sequels/franchises does he have? Ditto his boy Tommy Cruise. Look at what Tom's selecting these days. They're easing into "franchise" territory so they can rest on their laurels and coast into oblivion. The Fresh Prince is a liar.

So…the graphic reveals that QT has put himself in Django. Can somebody he might listen to please tell him to stop ruining scenes and stay behind the camera where he belongs?

Oh what BS! He didn't do it cause he's never done anything controversial in his life and he'd never risk upsetting his family friendly image.

Honestly, Bad Boys 2 is one of the most entertaining insane action movies ever. I would love for there to be a third one with Martin and Will playing older versions of themselves teaming up with younger stars (Kevin Hart anyone?). Bay needs to stop playing with Toys and direct that shit!

I was really Looking forward to A Hancock Sequel. With the success of the Avengers and other super hero Sequels I really think this was a no brainier. With that being said its all about the money. I'm sure with the right amount of money will Smith would make a porn0.

I sure Smith passing on Django was throwing Foxx the proverbial bone. Smith was highly influential in and a huge advocate for Foxx's sliver screen presence. Pushing (almost demanding) Foxx be cast for his (Foxx) breakout role in Ali. Which was the first time Foxx exhibited his acting talent. Which then lead to Ray and so on, and so on. With the combination of whatever time conflicts Smith had with MIB, and Foxx's subsided Ray heat, it's seems very likely that Foxx (again) got plugged in by Smith.

P.S I would love to see actors like Michael K. Williams get a crack a roles like these. Just my personal opinion

I think the biggest reason Smith didn't do Django Unchained was that he likes being heavily involved in the script of all the movies he does nowadays. And obviously QT's not gonna let anyone but him interfere with his script.
