As of now, Smiths next starring role is in the film Emancipation, where the actor portrays a runaway slave who journey through Louisiana swamps to escape plantation owners. That Antoine Fuqua-directed movie, currently in post-production, was scheduled to premiere on Apple TV+ in 2022, but no release date has been set yet.

According to IMDB, Smith in the role of producer still has plenty of projects on the horizon in various states of development, but the fate of those films and TV shows is now in flux following the fallout of Smiths infamous Oscars moment.

On Friday, Smithresignedfrom the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in a statement where he accepted all consequences for my conduct.

My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable, Smith wrote. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home. I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work.

Smith continued, I am heartbroken Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.
