A source told The Sun newspaper: “This film is Will’s big comeback and his team are going all out to get him out there.”

‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ is his first major film project since he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars in 2022 and the Hollywood veteran intends to address the “elephant in the room” during the promotional campaign for the movie.

The insider explained: “He will deal head-on with the slap and how he has changed since then. It’s likely he will also speak about his marriage to Jada, after they secretly split up more than six years ago.
