Candle Media, run by Kevin Mayer and Tom Saggs, will continue to work with Will Smith following the Oscars slap.

The media company will continue its partnership with Smith's company Westbrook, despite reports that multiple projects involving the actor had been put on hold.

"It’s a great company, they have great projects, they’re very multi-faceted, they have a film and TV production, they have social media stories like Red Table Talk […] they have a big social media branding operation, so it’s a very good company, we have a 10% stake, that’s where we are for now, we think they’re a really great company," Mayer said at the MipTV conference in Cannes on Monday morning, Variety reported.

Recent reports have surfaced that David Leitch withdrew from an upcoming Netflix film starring Smith a week before the Oscars.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Leitch pulled out from the Netflix movie and took on another role with Universal in an upcoming film starring Ryan Reynolds called "Fall Guy."

The outlet reported that Netflix tried to find another director, but after the events that unfolded at the 2022 Oscars, the streaming service put the movie, "Fast and Loose," on hold.

"I have directly responded to the Academy’s disciplinary hearing notice, and I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct. My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home. I betrayed the trust of the Academy," Smith said.
