[Easy-E]

Which Will we getting?

• 90's, smooth, aw-hell-nah, Will
• Overly dramatic Will
• Foreign accent Will

Serena likely wanted someone white to play him.

Damn

Or taye Diggs, or wesley snipes. Not saying Smith couldn't do it, but these studios cast the movies based on how whether theyll be able to make big money at the box office.

Idris Elba seems like the obvious choice here then.

 

[Kingpin]

Mahershala Ali would have been a good pick

 

[Pure Water]

Idris Elba seems like the obvious choice here then.

Nah, Not ADOS.

This nicca will ain't learned yet.......

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Idris Elba seems like the obvious choice here then.

Elba is in high demand, just like Chadwick boseman. I can almost guarantee they reached out to those two and they were already committed to too many projects.

They couldn't find a dark skin actor?

Derek Luke needs work too

Should have been Denzel you know they fixing to shyt on ole boy. might as well go the fences route.

[Lord_nikon]

I'm sure Serena & Venus Williams will be played by Biracial...... I guarantee and at will smith playing the father

Probably..im just happy Lee Daniels didn't get his hands on this script. He would have had him doing crack, beating on the kids and having gay sex
