His next role: Martin Luther King


He has an uncanny resemblance to the civil rights leader and would be a good candidate to do a biopic on his life.

Interesting concept.

He's already doing King Richard. https://moviechat.org/tt9620288

Now that you mention it, he does; just taller and thinner.

I think he could pull it off. He'd have to gain weight slightly.

Uncanny resemblance? I don't see it. He looks nothing like him. I could still see him pulling off the role, though.

Will Smith can definitely play Jesse Jackson - there is a definite similarity there.

I do see a Jesse Jackson resemblance too! Either one of them would be a good role.
