Breaking News: Netflix Has Officially Canceled Will Smith’s Bright 2 Sequel… full story below
Khaama Press) Timelines for two Will Smith projects have been changed, with one delayed amid the fallout from the Oscars slap, and a second reportedly canceled though“unrelated to the incident.”
Bloomberg reporter Lucas Shaw wrote in a tweet that Netflix’s Bright 2, the sequel to David Ayer’s big-budget 2017 film, has been canned.
While the original wasn’t critically acclaimed, it was one of the biggest releases for Netflix at that point and did find some fans. The sequel was announced a month after its release, in January 2018. Smith starred as Daryl Ward, an LAPD detective in a world where humans and different types of creatures-like orcs, elves, and fairies-coexist.
A spinoff animated series titled Bright: Samurai Soul was slated for 2021, though it’s unclear if or when it will debut.
