Apple pushes back Will Smith 'Emancipation' to 2023 after Oscars drama

Will Smith will seemingly take his time before getting back on-screen.

As per Variety, Apple and Smith’s production company, Westbrook Studios, are pushing back the release of his action-drama “Emancipation” to 2023.

A source close to his team added that “it’s the unspoken truth” that the film will not hit the streaming platform this year.

After the movie, it is conjectured that “Will’s going to win back-to-back [Oscars].”

The decision comes after Will Smith indulged in an altercation at the Oscars. The actor slapped host Chris Rock for poking fun at wife Jada Pinkett Smith's Aloepecia.
