Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith can be many things, but never boring. Their relationship, that goes way back to 1994, mind you, has been questioned many times by the media and the public, and they have been the object of several wild rumors and speculation. However, somehow, they always find a way to surprise people.

In the latest gossip about the couple, Pinkett Smith visited The Today Show on Oct. 11 to talk about her upcoming memoir “Worthy” (out on Oct. 17), and she revealed new details about her marriage… Shockingly admitting that her and Smith have been separated since 2016. While she said that there isn’t “a divorce on paper,” she said that they were “exhausted with trying” to work out their marriage.

She also explained that they weren’t ready to announce that to the world, as they were still trying to figure out their “how to be in partnership.” Sure, this comes as a big surprise, especially after all the Oscar-slap fuzz. But, as we said, this is hardly the first time the couple made news for something controversial. Here are other times that the couple had the Internet talking.

Jada and Will Smith’s relationship craziest moments

August Alsina reveals a relationship with Jada

This one makes more sense now, after knowing the separation. In June 2020, singer August Alsina claimed that he and Jada Smith had a romantic relationship, while she was still married to Smith. He said that he had “spoken to Will” about it, as the couple had a “life partnership” that didn’t involve “romanticism.” He even said that Will gave him his “blessing.”

However, Jada’s reps denied the claims to Page Six, saying that the claims were “absolutely not true.” The drama of this, which came after years of rumors of the couple having an open relationship, extended until the next month when Will and Jada sat down for her talk show Red Table Talk, which leads us to…

The admission of the ‘entanglement’

Even wilder than the rumors of infidelity (which weren’t the first ones, there were claims that Jada had a thing with Marc Anthony), it was the confession that occurred in the Red Table Talk in July 2020. Will admitted that they “were going to separate for a period of time,” while Jada said “From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August.…Yes, it was a relationship, absolutely.”

Will’s comments on the “open marriage” chat

After Will’s eponymous memoir came out in November 2021, Oprah Winfrey interviewed the actor and questioned him on the phrase “loving freedom.” He told her that people tend to allow more space in friendships than in romantic relationships, especially in marriage

He said: “People are trying to put something on it: ‘Will and Jada—what they doing with other people?’ Will and Jada ain’t really doing too much of nothing’. Will and Jada are on a spiritual journey to cleanse the poisonous, unloving parts of our hearts. And we’re doing it together in this lifetime no matter what.”

The Oscar Slap

No list of their controversies would be complete without the infamous Oscar-Slap. Unfortunately, this incident left a big mark on both pop culture and their relationship. Here’s the quick rundown: At the 2022 Oscars, Chris Rock, while presenting, cracked a joke about Jada, who’s been open about her hair loss condition, saying she looked like the star of “G.I. Jane 2.” Will Smith wasn’t having it. He rushed up on stage, gave Chris a piece of his mind, and told him to “keep my wife’s name out of your f* mouth.”

Despite the media storm and reports that Jada wasn’t happy with Will’s reaction, the couple remained united, at least, publicly. The whole family, including children Willow and Jaden, accompanied the actor to his film’s Emancipation, and he and Jada were seen holding hands. And that was the latest from them…And that was the latest from them, until Jada’s recent comments about their separation.

Will Smith is one of the many actors who have had a successful career. Despite what happened at the Oscars, the star has come back to the ring and released several more titles. However, it is always good to remember some of his classics.

This week, aliens and UFOs became trending on social media in the United States and worldwide. So it was no surprise that several classic movies about these topics came to prominence again.

One of them starred the 54-year-old actor and Tommy Lee Jones. It debuted on the big screen in 1997 and quickly became one of the most popular sci-fi comedies, with many dramatic touches, among moviegoers.

Men in Black is Prime Video’s most watched sci-fi alien movie

Prime Video has a number of sci-fi titles, both its own and those it has acquired. However, this week it is one with Will Smith that shines among users and it is the first installment of Men in Black.

The story follows a police officer who joins a secret organization that controls and monitors extraterrestrial activity on Earth. Barry Sonnenfeld directed, while Lowell Cunningham and Ed Solomon wrote the screenplay.

Will Smith has made several thrillers throughout his career, but none with the magnitude of the last one he released during the course of last year. Apple TV+ is the platform that has embraced it.

The story has everything and touches on many sensitive issues, such as racism within society. The Oscar-winning actor plays Peter, the main character who embarks on a long-suffering and persevering adventure.

Antoine Fuqua directed the film, while Bill Collage wrote the screenplay. Here, check out which film production is a success on the streaming service and one of the most watched…

Emancipation is the most watched Will Smith thriller on Apple TV+

Emancipation first saw the light of day during September of last year and since that time has been one of Will Smith‘s most acclaimed, and now also Apple TV+. This week it became the most watched thriller on the streaming platform worldwide.

“Inspired by the gripping true story of a man who would do anything for his family—and for freedom. When Peter, an enslaved man, risks his life to escape and return to his family, he embarks on a perilous journey of love and endurance”, describes the synopsis.

Ben Foster, Charmaine Bingwa, Steven Ogg, Gilbert Owuor, Mustafa Shakir, Grant Harvey, Ronnie Gene Blevins, Jayson Warner Smith, Jabbar Lewis and Michael Luwoye are some of the actors that make up the cast and accompany the Men in Black star.

Oscar winner Will Smith stars in one of the most popular thrillers of the decade, which won 5 awards and now belongs to Netflix‘s catalog. The film directed by Tony Scott is one of the most watched films worldwide.

With a script by David Marconi, the actor gives life to Robert Clayton Dean, one of the main characters of the story of action and suspense. This week it managed to position itself within the top 10 of the platform in different parts of the world.

It is no surprise that this genre dominates the ranking, quite the contrary. Liam Neeson is another of the many stars that continue to triumph in the list, being the leader of productions that shine within the service.

Enemy of the State, Will Smith’s most-watched conspiracy thriller on Netflix

Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Jon Voight, Regina King, Gabriel Byrne, Loren Dean and Barry Pepper are part of the cast of Enemy of the State, the most watched action thriller on Netflix this week.

The conspiracy movie managed to become a trend again and one of the most chosen by users of the streaming platform. It is currently ranked number 7 worldwide, but in the United States it can only be seen through Fubo (7 day free-trial).

The story follows a lawyer, who becomes the target of a corrupt politician and his NSA goons when he accidentally receives key evidence of a politically motivated crime.

Everyone was shocked after the Bad Boys interpreter got up from his seat and slapped the comedian. As time went on, celebrities took sides and the waters seemed to be more divided than ever. That same night Smith took home the Oscar for Best Actor for his work in King Richard.

However, many are wondering what will happen to the 54-year-old actor. Is it possible that he will be nominated again at the Academy Awards? Will he attend the event again? There are several doubts about his presence and especially because this year’s edition is just a few weeks away from its debut, with Jimmy Kimmel as host.

Is Will Smith to attend the Oscars 2023?

The organization behind the most anticipated event of the year learned from its mistakes and this year’s edition will have a very special feature, called Crisis Team. Bill Cramer, CEO of the Academy, assured that “We hope that we are prepared for anything that we can’t anticipate at this time, but that we are planning for in case it happens”.

After the big scandal between Smith and Rock, the board of directors of the Hollywood Academy took a very drastic decision. Will has a veto, which remains in place to this day, where he is banned from the organization’s activities, including the expected Oscars ceremony. This means that he will not be present and will be so for 10 years.

“I’m obsessed with ‘The Last of Us,’ where we see the world just post-apocalypse but also after a 20-30-year lapse,” Goldsman told Deadline. “You see how the earth reclaims the world, and there’s something beautiful in the question of, as man steps away from being the primary tenant, what happens?”

So, with that in mind, the sequel, which also stars Michael B. Jordan in an undisclosed role, is set decades after the ending of the first film. However, Goldsman also said that the movie will ignore the ending that was shown in theaters, and will instead follow the alternate ending that was available on DVD. Here’s what you need to know about how it will affect the sequel.

‘I Am Legend’ ending: The original vs. the alternate

In the original ending of the movie, Smith’s character dies as he sacrifices himself after figuring out the cure for the pandemic that killed everyone but still saves humanity by handing it off to a fellow survivor, Anna (Alice Braga). So, she and her son could escape New York with the cure.

However, the ‘alternate ending’ is much closer to the actual ending of the book by Richard Matheson in which the movie is inspired. In this one, which was supposed to be the only ending but it was changed after audience testing, the vampire-like creatures leave Smith’s Neville alone once he returns the body he was testing the cure on back to them.

Then, Neville, Anna and her son travel to Vermont to spread the cure. In this one, Smith’s character is confronted with the idea that he wasn’t as “good” as he thought, because he realizes that the creature he kidnapped was important to the Darkseekers, who are intelligent and even have developed their own society.

Why the sequel will follow the alternate ending?

In that sense, Goldsman explained that “We trace back to the original [Richard] Matheson book, and the alternate ending as opposed to the released ending in the original film. What Matheson was talking about was that man’s time on the planet as the dominant species had come to an end. That’s a really interesting thing we’re going to get to explore. There will be a little more fidelity to the original text.”

Not many details of the sequel have been revealed yet, but it is confirmed that the King Richard actor will not be alone, but will be accompanied by Michael B. Jordan (Creed). In addition, director Akiva Goldsman assured during an interview that the plot will be set several decades after the first part and that it will be based on what would happen taking into account the alternative ending.

In the original ending,Neville immolated himself along with a several creatures after having created a cure. However, in the other option (more faithful to Richard Matheson’s novel) the virologist was cornering the leader of the group of cannibals in order to find a solution, but he begins to realize that they can communicate…

Howto watch the alternate ending of I Am Legend

The movie is available to watch on one of the most important streaming platforms of recent times: HBO Max. In case you don’t have a subscription, you can also rent I Am Legend on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV or other options, such as iTunes.

On the other hand, you can also find several clips of the alternate ending on YouTube. Here, check out one of the most complete ones found on the most popular video platform on the Internet:

The plot of the first installment was set in as after a failed attempt to create a cure for cancer ends up eradicating most of humanity, leaving a few survivors and some people turned into a kind of hybrid between vampire and zombie.Neville is a virologist who hunts these beings in New York City with the intention of finally finding a solution.

Now, the sequel already has two leads, a plot and a possible release date. Akiva Goldsman (Constantine) will be in charge of the project as director and writer. It will not be the only production in his hands, he is also developing Constantine 2 with Keanu Reeves in his iconic role as John and Peter Stormare in the role of Lucifer.

Who are the cast of I Am Legend 2?

At the moment, not many actors have been confirmed, but the two main actors have been selected. Will Smith will reprise his role as Robert Neville and will be accompanied by Michael B. Jordan, who will soon be starring in the third installment of Creed. It is not yet known what role he will be playing but it is expected to be an important one, as he will be head to head with the Bad Boys actor.

What will I Am Legend 2 be about?

During an interview with Deadline, Goldsman provided several details on what to expect from the sequel. It will be set several decades after the first part. In addition, he confessed that he is a loyal fan of The Last of Us and that he emphasizes the beauty of the world a few years after an apocalyptic eeno.

“You know when the Earth reclaims its territory again? There’s something beautiful about the fact that man is not the main focus,” he said. This means we’re likely to see New York City much more taken over by nature than what we saw in some scenes in the first installment. The landscape will play a fundamental role in the plot…

On the other hand, it was confirmed that the alternate ending given to the first film will be used as a basis. During the original ending, Neville immolated himself along with a group of these creatures after having created a cure. However, in the other option (which is more faithful to Richard Matheson’s novel) the virologist was cornered by the leader of the group of cannibals, who claimed his partner.

He is captured in order to try to find the long-awaited cure.After understanding that this group of beings can communicate, he frees him and returns to his partner. There, Robert realizes that he has become someone important and feared within the cannibals. And that will become important as the starting point for the sequel.

When could I Am Legend 2 be released?

There is still no exact release date, but it is expected to hit the big screen in late 2024 and early 2025, especially since much of the project has not yet been developed and filming has only just begun.

Chris Bremner, David Guggenheim and Joe Carnahan will create the screenplay. The first film took place in 1995 and has established itself as one of the biggest successes in the career of the leading actors. The comedy established itself as one of the most entertaining and has been a box office success, grossing $141.4 million.

After several studios turned their backs on Smith for his scandal with Chris Rock during last year’s Oscars, life is smiling on him again and he is ready to return to the big screen more refreshed than ever. The film’s plot has not yet been revealed, but it is expected to continue the Bad Boys for Life storyline.

Nobody knows what anybody else is going through, and I was going through something that night. Not that that justifies my behavior at all… But it was a lot of things.
