* DevelopmentHell: A sequel with Will Smith and Joel Edgerton reprising their roles was announced by Netflix shortly after the first film's release, but the production timeline has since become notably scant. While a script by David Ayer was penned and filming was planned in the summer of 2019, the season came and went with nothing, and not only did the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic starting the following year put further dents in production, Ayer stepped down as writer and director in May of the year. Following the production and tepid release of ''Anime/BrightSamuraiSoul'' in 2021, the final word on ''Bright'' came in April 2022, with it being confirmed that Netflix had dropped all activity on the sequel (while many believed this to be the result of Will Smith's infamous Oscars incident that saw many of his projects get frozen, this has been debunked as the reason for ''Bright 2'''s abandonment).

** According to an assistant editor of the film in a comment on Lindsay Ellis's video on Bright. Ward and his wife's relationship was initially shot as being estranged as per the earlier draft. But after a negative reaction from the test audience, who found Ward's wife "Too Bitchy" her scenes were reshot. Thus explaining Jakoby's weird observation of Ward not having "physical love" in spite of the latter being shown to have a loving family.
** Tikka was also supposed to be a child in an earlier draft, which explains her childlike behaviour early on (which wasn't written out). It was changed probably because bringing a child into a bar would be uncomfortable to watch. She was also supposed to have a much higher pitch to her voice, which was dubbed over after a negative reaction from test audiences.
