Will Smith has been confirmed to star in David Ayer's upcoming cop thriller "Bright" reports Deadline.

The movie will reunite the director and actor after they worked together on soon-to-be-released DC Comics movie "Suicide Squad."

Australian actor Joel Edgerton, known for his roles in "The Great Gatsby" and "Jane Got A Gun" will also star alongside Smith.

The new film is described by Deadline as "a contemporary cop thriller, but with fantastical elements."

Smith is currently filming "Collateral Beauty" with Kate Winslet, Keira Knightley and Jonah Hill, while Edgerton is shooting "Loving," based on the true-story of mixed race couple Richard and Mildred Loving.
