Fans come forward to share their opinion as Netflix brings Will Smith to headline the new movie titled The Family Man.

Fans Make Their Voices Heard as Netflix Casts Will Smith in the New &#8216;The Family Man&#8217; Movie

Will Smith is having a hard time returning to the limelight following his
controversial slap at the Oscar ceremony. During the promotion of his movie
Emancipation, he urged fans to not let the past overshadow the hard work of his
team. The result of the film clearly stated that fans are ready to watch him on
the silver screen no matter what he does. However, the viewers are now lashing
out at the Men in Black star as Netflix announces his lead role in an upcoming
movie.

An exclusive report from Giant Freakin Robot recently revealed that Will Smith
is set to star in the new Netflix movie The Family Man. This is the second time
the Oscar winner will be doing a live-action movie. Earlier, the American
superstar starred in the 2019 film Aladdin, for which he garnered admiration
from viewers and critics.

Unfortunately, those times are long past when fans used to shower him with love
and praise. It appears that the unconventional style his family follows in their
lives has started to affect his career. Netizens are bashing him badly, saying
he is not the right fit for this role. Meanwhile, others are mocking his eldest
son Jaden with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
