    He cared and still cares too much about his image and doesn't accept roles outside of his comfort zone.

    He should be a villain / anti-hero like Lonzo from Training Day, Tom Cruise from Collateral, Jeremy Renner from The Town, etc. but I don't see him doing it until he is forced to reinvent himself which could be years from now.

    Independence Day
    I Am Legend
    Hancock
    7 Pounds
    Ali

    ...all good movies

    Ali is dope and so is Independence Day but that's not his movie.

    I Am Legend and 7 Pounds are meh at best IMO and Hancock is trash.

    It may not have been his movie when they were making it, but since it's been released it's considered his.

    ? there's pages in the ID2 thread about why he isn't in the 2nd one.

    I been said this about Super Will.

    He on that Super Cena treatment till he stops playing the bad boy scout protagonist. Until he does some Alzono/Vincent from Collateral ? , his movies getting passed like Magic's All-Star summer camp.

    Suicide Squad look like he might be taking that first baby step, tho. We'll see.

    Co-sign on I Am Legend being trash. It differed way too much from the book which ironically Will himself wanted because the book would've basically made his character the villain. He is supposed to be the "Legend" or the boogeyman if you will to the mutants.

    He is a villain in suicide squad.

    The suicide squad are basically anti-heroes not really villains per se in this movie.

    He passed on being Neo in the Matrix for this

    I read it was because he wanted humour in the Matrix and those trannis ran him

    He's said for years why he turned down The Matrix. He said the way they pitched it to him made it sound confusing as ? and he didn't get the concept of it

    I honestly still dont know.what matrix was about. And honestly, the ? was boring as hell.

    The Matrix was stolen from a Black lady...

    The Wachowski brothers (siblings) didn't know what the Matrix was about, which is why the sequels sucked so hard...

    That true, because the biggest complaint about After Earth was "nepotism"

    Jaden wasn't that bad in the movie... infact, all that was before Jaden got weird.

    Hollywood is built on Nepotism .. so i didn't mind seeing a blk man, blk father put on his blk son, obviously wht ppl did.
