Will Smith will take part in Fresh Prince reboot 'when hell freezes over’

Will Smith has dismissed rumours that there will be a Fresh Prince of Bel Air reboot.

The Suicide Squad star, who rose to fame in the hit 1990s sitcom, has said that he’ll reprise the role when “hell freezes over.”

Speaking about the mounting speculation that a new series is in the works, the 47-year-old insisted that it wasn’t happening any time soon.

“I don't think ever, like pretty close to when hell freezes over,” he told E! News during a junket for the new film.

“We're going to leave that one alone,” he added.

Smith was then asked by co-star Margot Robbie to tell a white lie to keep fans of the show happy.

“Yeah, yeah we're working on it! We're working on it,” he joked. “Probably. You're right, you're right. That's a better... two or three months, we're gonna release something.”

Last year reports emerged that Smith was ‘in talks’ to bring back the hit sitcom for a modern day audience.

A source told TV industry website TV Line that Smith’s company Overbrook Entertainment was in the ‘very early stages’ of developing a spin-off show.
