Will Smith Has 25 Movies In The Works...
Notables: I-Robot 2, Men In Black 3, I Am Legend Prequel, Hancock 2
Crazy
He's easily my favorite actor and probably the only one that I'd see a movie just cause he's in it. I don't really see how some of the sequels can work but I'm sure there's some huge hits in that pile of films. Every single movie he's ever starred in has debuted at #1.

Not really a fan of Smith. He seems to just play the same cocky guy in film of his.
Johnny depp is probably my favourite actor. I don't rush out and see all of his movies (never seen the carribean's for example) but he seems to play a different character each movie and does so well.

All those notables you mentioned just look like horrible and pointless sequels to me. Hopefully some of those 25 are actually interesting new films.
Will Smith actually has his moments of good performances, but he puts out way too much fluff. I think he focuses to much on keeping his star power than choosing interesting roles. He is the bollywood star of Hollywood.

Well for the most part he is an action star. Most action characters are cocky.
I do like Johnny Depp but I think you're missing out on one of his best roles! He kills it as Jack Sparrow.

They're notables because they're the ones people would recognize... hence Notables. I can't say that any of the other movies are notables cause I have no idea what they're about.
Flowers for Algernon is one that I can guarantee will be a solid performance. Can you blame the guy for making movies that will be fun and make him some money? If you love to do something you tend to do it often and unfortunately there's only a handful of amazing roles every few years. Also some of his "fluff" performance are very entertaining. Hitch for example.

Another Scientologist actor.
According to a 2008 tax filing, Will Smith and his wife, Jada, donated $70,000 to Scientology groups in 2008 via his Will Smith Foundation

I think Johnny best role is in Pirates. I like him and you're right he does have variety in characters from movies to movies.
I want to see a Bad Boys III if they're gonna be doing MIB III and other sequels.

What?! 25 movies and no Wild Wild West sequel!
The prequel to I Am Legend could be alright, touch on how he coped by himself for so long which I think was something people thought the first would be about. However, if it follows the horror genre, it wont work out well when we know the ending...

True and I have nothing against that. I like bad boys and some of his movies. The thing I don't like about him is that his characters all seem the same for each movie. His acting range just doesn't seem that large.
He does get typecast for those roles though, so maybe it just like igottago said.

Hey, if I was getting millions of dollars to appear in movies, I'd be in as many damn movies as I could possibly get.

Don't know if I could watch another Men In Black. The idea of aliens, and UFOs, is just silly.

Still thought his Pursuit of Happyness role was his best yet.

I liked him in Ali more. Too bad he didn't win that Oscar.
