10 Big Actors Who Are Skipping Movies In 2018
1. Will Smith
Next Movie: Spies In Disguise (2019)
It feels like Will Smith stars in a new movie every five minutes, so the fact that he's taking a whole year off is nothing short of a minor miracle.
A Hollywood mainstay since the mid-1990s, Smith has appeared in at least one film a year since Bad Boys in 1995 (besides a gap from 2008 - 2012). The rate at which he pumps out movies is astounding, and his upcoming time off will leave a hugely noticeable hole in 2018, right where a Big Willy should be.
Fortunately, once 2018 is over, it's business as usual for the Fresh Prince. He will undoubtedly be starring in Suicide Squad 2 (which is currently in development), is filming Guy Ritchie's Aladdin remake as we speak, and it was recently revealed that Netflix's Bright - in which Smith played a grizzled cop - will be getting a sequel.
But his next film is Spies In Disguise, a family adventure that launches in January of 2019. Smith will voice one of the lead characters (alongside Tom Holland), and though that January date isn't the most confident of release strategies, it will be good to have Smith back on the big-screen once again.
