Although Shaw disclosed this information in the context of a report on the Will Smith that have been canceled or suspended after his hit to Chris Rock in the most recent delivery of the Oscar Awards, apparently the cancellation of Bright 2 would not be related to that incident.
The sequel to Bright was confirmed in 2018 shortly after the release of the original film, however, it was not an announcement that generated much enthusiasm due to the mainly negative reactions regarding the film led by Will Smith Y Joel Edgerton. Thus, in 2019 the film was put on indefinite hiatus and, although in 2020 it was reported that louis leterrier would replace David Yesterday as director now Netflix would have buried this project once and for all.
On the other hand, while the fate of Bright 2 would not have anything to do with the 2022 Oscars incident, that situation had other repercussions for Smith and, in addition to his ban from participating in Academy events, caused Disney to delay the premiere of Pole-to-PoleSmith’s documentary for National Geographic; affected the development of bad boys 4 and stopped the plans Fast and Loose in Netflix.
“Bright” the tape, directed by David Yesterday and written by Max Landis, It was a hybrid of crime fiction with heroic fantasy, since the protagonists were a human named Daryl Ward (Smith) and an orc named Nick Jakoby (Edgerton), who were involved in a dangerous investigation/adventure with a lot of magic and mythical creatures. Although the critics were not very enthusiastic about the final result, some celebrated the exotic nature of the proposal, and it was one of the first Netflix blockbusters.
