Yahoo Finance Watch Will Smith Climb Inside a Volcano and More in Thrilling Trailer for Welcome to Earth
Will Smith is taking on the globe in a once in a lifetime adventure.
On Monday, Disney+ released the trailer for Welcome to Earth. The original series by National Geographic will follow the 53-year-old actor as he starts a journey to visit hidden gems around the world.
"I've got a confession to make. I've never climbed a mountain. Never swum in a lake. I was in a cave once," Smith said in the clip. "I'm beginning to think I might be missing something."
He continued, "We think we know our planet but there's still a secret world to be discovered. If you go to the right place, with the right guide, you just might find a portal into it."
