Will Smith is set to lead in the action-thriller 'Supermax', portraying an FBI agent tasked with investigating a murder within one of the world's most secure prisons. Directed by David Gordon Green, recognized for his work on 'The Exorcist: Believer' and the recent 'Halloween' trilogy, the film has generated considerable buzz in Hollywood. Amazon MGM Studios secured the rights for $70 million, opting for a streaming release rather than a traditional theatrical launch. This project marks a significant step in Smith's career, which faced challenges following his controversial incident at the 2022 Academy Awards, where he received a 10-year ban after slapping comedian Chris Rock. Despite previous setbacks, Smith has been gradually returning to the screen, recently appearing in 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' and making a cameo in the reboot of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'.
