The cancel culture is a real scourge, while Johnny Depp is the most significant example due to its spectacular fall in Hollywood, never seen before at such a stage, Kevin Spacey also did not fail to suffer a significant injustice. Shattered careers, against a backdrop of popular trials, is what the uncontrolled controversies of our time promise. As a reminder, Kevin Spacey was sacked from several projects following the #metoo movement (before being cleared of all suspicion), in particular from the series House of Cards of Netflix.
The slap in the face at the Oscars carried by Will Smith to the intention of Chris Rock did not fail to have the same effect. While the acts, to some extent, are far less serious than any accusations from a movement like #metoo, the blow was real and the fallout was explosive. Indeed, despite immediate apologies from both parties, the fate of Will Smith seems to take the same trajectory as that of Johnny Deppheadlines, debates, positions and above all, exclusion.

Bad Boys 4 — Emancipation
Whereas Badboys 4 was officially put on hold, the actor also learned that the film “Emancipation” of which he embodies the main role, and which was to be released this year on AppleTV+, has been “suspended”. The film no longer has a release date, with Apple more likely waiting to see how the story and reputation of Will Smith will end.

In the process, Netflix also took action against Will Smith. Thereby, Fast and Loose, a project in which the actor was to play the role of a powerful mobster/double agent of the CIA, who was losing his memory and trying to put the pieces of his old life back together, was also affected. Indeed, while netflix was actively looking for a director, the film was also put on hold.

On the side of Warner, we learn that a council was held urgently to settle the case ofEzra Miller (Flash), arrested once again in connection with disturbances and altercations. The case Deadshot would have been vaguely approached, the film is put on hold for reasons which have nothing to do with the phenomenon of the oscars. It is earlier the emoluments claimed by the actor which prevents Warner to agree with the clan Smith.
The fall
Since the slap, Will Smith faces various consequences. On a personal level, many of his friends, colleagues and fans on social media have come out to speak out against his actions. The ramifications of his career were also swift. The actor, despite numerous apologies, also resigned from his position at the Academy of Oscars. The latter meets this Friday, April 8 to shed light on the case Will Smith.
