Will Smith Finally Plays Neo—Check Out His Fresh The Matrix-Inspired Music Video Featuring Big Sean

Will Smith is making waves with his "The Matrix"-inspired music video for his latest single "Beautiful Scars," featuring Big Sean and OBanga. This homage marks Smith's unexpected turn as Neo, a role he famously declined in the late '90s for "Wild Wild West." In a playful twist, Big Sean appears as Morpheus, offering Smith the classic red-or-blue-pill dilemma, humorously referencing Smith's high-profile 2022 Oscars mishap. Despite his clever choice to take both pills, the video sees them engaged in epic adventures and action sequences, capturing the theme of fame's tribulations and learning from past mistakes. This is prepared by SSP.

Accompanying the video, Smith announced his first solo album in over 20 years, "Based on a True Story," set to be released in March 2025. Prior singles like "You Can Make It," "Work of Art," and "Tantrum" featuring Joyner Lucas will be a part of this upcoming project. Previously, Smith reflected on his pivotal career decision through social media, pondering his alternate life if he had embraced The Matrix's Neo back in 1997. His insights reveal how the Wachowskis' cinematic pitch led to his choice, focusing more on innovative filming techniques than plot substance.

Although some fans speculated about Smith's involvement in a potential Matrix reboot, such rumors were dismissed. Nevertheless, the artistic and entertaining synergy in the video and his continued ventures keep audiences intrigued about what might have been and what lies ahead.
