Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Few actors can boast as many iconic action films as Will Smith, whose filmography spans a wide gulf of quality. One of Hollywood's premiere leading stars for decades now, Will Smith's box office dominance is a near guarantee.
9 I Am Legend A compelling post-apocalyptic tale with some unfortunate changes Based on a short science fiction tale, Will Smith stars in I Am Legend as Dr. Robert Neville. The sole survivor of an outbreak of a vampiric virus, the film follows Neville's attempts to seek other survivors and create a cure for the affliction in a bombed-out New York City, all the while dodging the ravenous nocturnal infected humans known as darkseekers.
7 Men In Black 3 Resuscitated the stumbling franchise After the success of Men In Black, Sony mistakenly believed themselves to have a surefire franchise on their hands, only to drop the ball with the poorly-received Men In Black II. After letting theaters cool down for a solid 10 years, Will Smith donned the series' trademark black suit and shades once more in Men In Black 3, to the sound of much greater success.
5 Enemy Of The State A rare example of Will Smith playing it completely straight Before becoming typecast as the wisecracking funny man of the Hollywood action blockbuster world, Will Smith has tried time and time again to delve into more serious roles. Among his action films, none are more straightforward than Enemy of the State, a Tony Scott film with no fantastical world or science fiction technology.
