Some netizens are also confused about the film announcement, saying that they thought the Smurfs were over and done since the 2000s but they will still watch it.
"I’m also shocked that smurfs are still a thing I thought were also gone but I’m intrigued to see." - one user (@tommydangermou3 / X) said
While some noticed that the Smurfs team usually teams up with Pop Singers! (Wow. A fun fact!)
"They really like to cast singers for Smurfette. In first Sony movies Katy Perry, in animated movie Demi Lovato and now Rihanna (if they'll do another reboot in future, propably next will be Ariana Grande)." - one user (@NarnickaP /X) remarked
