Will Smith’s Worst and Best Movies of His Career, Ranked

5. Best – “King Richard” (2021)

Smith’s latest may be the one that earns him his Oscar.

Smith plays Richard Williams, the father to tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams. His performance is emotionally charged as Smith portrays a man who has a past of trouble but is determined to make his children’s lives better.

Smith does a great job in the role. He has some great comedy moments, but that doesn’t diminish the dramatic tone.
