Starring Smith, the original I Am Legend film brought in more than $585 million worldwide, per Deadline.
Smith’s latest project comes after he took home the award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role for his part in King Richard at the 28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday. While nominees and attendees alike were excited about Smith’s first-ever SAG award, Denzel Washington, 67, couldn’t have been prouder of his longtime friend for his incredible achievement.
“We’ve spent a lot of time together. So we’ve been talking, he’s always been a mentor for me and he grabbed me and he said, ‘This is your year,’ ” Smith told PEOPLE (the TV Show!) host Kay Adams after he won his award.

“He just hugged me and he said, ‘I’m so happy for you. Just love who you’re becoming,’ ” he said.
Continued Smith: “He knew me years ago, I would go to Denzel for advice so he’s seen me through the years and he was just telling me how proud he is of who I’ve become and what I’ve become. He was saying that he felt like a weight was lifted off of his shoulders somehow.”
