Idk if you can compare the dynamic between Smith and Hackman against DiCaprio and Murphy. I don’t think DiCaprio needs to steal the scenes the same way Will Smith does.
Also, Smith has done plenty of SciFi that was… mid. I am Legend worked in large part because Will Smith was acting against himself. As a lead in an ensemble cast - like in Suicide Squad - he’s not nearly as impressive.
