It seems Will Smith can't get enough of working with Australian actors.

Joel, fresh from playing corrupt cop in Black Mass alongside Johnny Depp, will play another policeman in the film.
But unlike other crime movies, Bright will include magical and other worldly elements.
Empire magazine has reported that David Ayer will direct the fantasy thriller from a script written by Max Landis.
Will and David have recently worked on the upcoming Warner Brothers action flick, Suicide Squad, which will be in theatres in August.

Joel has starred in a number of cop narratives including Felony and Ned Kelly, as well as playing a corrupt FBI agent in the acclaimed film Blackmass.
His next movie is Loving and follows the story of an interracial couple who are sentenced to prison in Virginia in 1958 for getting married.
Meanwhile, Will has been working with a handful of Australian actors of late.
In Suicide Squad, he stars alongside former Neighbours actress Margot Robbie and A Good Day to Die Hard actor Jai Courtney.
The action movie tells the story of a secret government plot to use imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions in exchange for clemency.
Will and Margot also worked on the 2015 comedy, Focus.
