Bad Boys: Comeback of Ride or Die Cements Will Smith
Following a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith made news in 2022 for hitting Chris Rock at the Academy Awards event. The episode generated a strong response and momentarily tarnished Smith's standing in Hollywood. He has since, however, mended relationships and worked on fresh projects including Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
Though there is still debate about Will Smith, Bad Boys: Ride or Die's box office earnings of $395.3 million worldwide and 97% Rotten Tomatoes audience score show that the public has mostly forgiven Smith. This success supports a bright future for a possible Bad Boys 5 and confirms his movie star status.
Looking Ahead: Promising Will Smith
Should Bad Boys: Ride or Die fail at the box office, Will Smith's career might suffer greatly. Still, the movie's popularity indicates he stays a big box office draw. For I Am Legend 2, which Smith is poised to feature alongside Michael B. Jordan, this favorable result also signals great hope. Though 2022 was difficult for Smith, Bad Boys: Ride or Die implies that viewers are ready to go past the issue and value his work.
