Will Smith is set to take over from Hugh Jackman in the cast of the forthcoming drama Collateral Beauty.
The X-Men and Pan star dropped out of the project last month due to a clash of schedules with Wolverine 3 – which will see him don the iconic claws one final time.
Although Johnny Depp was being tipped as a possible replacement, Deadline has now reported that Smith is in talks to take over the role.
The film tells the story of a New York advertising executive whose life goes on a downward spiral after suffering a personal tragedy.
