Will Smith Says He Understands If People Are 'Not Ready' for His On-Screen Return
"I completely understand that if someone is not ready, I would absolutely respect that and allow them their space to not be ready," Smith said. "My deepest concern is my team—[director Antoine Fuqua] has done what I think is the greatest work of his entire career.""have done some of the best work of their entire careers" and added that "my deepest hope is that my actions don't penalize my team.
In the film, which will premiere December 9, Smith plays Peter, a man who flees a plantation in Louisiana after he was whipped nearly to death, and attempts to reunite with his family. The actor called the experience of stepping into the role "one of the most grueling and transformative processes of my entire career."
"I'm hoping that the material, the power of the film, the timeliness of the story, I'm hoping that the good that can be done would open people's hearts at a minimum to see and recognize and support the incredible artists in and around this film," Smith told McCarthy. "At this point, that's what I'm working for, that's what I'm hoping for.
