Looks like there will definitely be a Hancock 2 heading our way in the near future… at least according to Will Smith.
I’ve got to admit that I’m one of the people who ended up enjoying the first Hancock film. The ending was fairly terrible, but the rest of the film worked for me. It was funny, there are a number of legitimately fantastic effects, Will Smith was actually pretty good in the role, I always like seeing Jason Bateman in just about anything at all and the action was solid (nothing mind blowing, but solid). I can understand why many didn’t dig the film… but I did.
Anyway, with the film brining in just under $625 million world wide its pretty much a no brainer that the studios would be keen to return to Hancock again. Then only conceivable thing that could stop it is if Will Smith didn’t want to wear the leather suit again. Well… it looks like he’s up for it. The following comes from the good folks over at Comingsoon:
When we asked Will if he’d ever be up for playing another superhero he replied that there were a lot of unexplored characters in the HANCOCK universe that would be ripe for a sequel and confirmed that we’ll definitely see the rumored HANCOCK 2 in a few years.
You know what… sign me up. Why not? At worst the film was some innocent fun. With an actual villain for Hancock to fight next time it could actually be pretty damn good.
