While film details haven’t been released as of yet, it has been confirmed that Will Smith will star in the sequel to Hancock, called… wait for it, Hancock 2 . (I know right?) Columbia has hired scribes Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara to write the new movie, coming out in 2012. However,  what was supposed to be a 2013 release now looks like 2014 at the earliest.

Hancock 2

Rumor is, Hancock 2 will be based more on the relationship between Hancock and his true love Mary Embrey as new sets of issues arise. However, Charlize Theron hasn’t 100% commited to the film, leaving a hole in the story so far. More info as it rolls in. Director Peter Berg says ‘Hancock 2′ will happen, however the plot with Hancock has always been the sticking point.

In a new Hancock movie, they have to figure out the real struggle for Hancock, because he is invincible. So where do they take this character? There is no ‘Kryptonite’  to destroy him, apparently just the love from Charlize Theron, who is too busy staying beautiful and rich, to do any more shitty Hancock sequels..

The Movie Poster

Now this is just a rumor at this point, but apparently this is the poster for the new Hanock movie. Don’t take this for the final poster since it could change a little bit between now and the 2014 release. I like what they did here, looks promising…

Hanock 2 poster.. looks legit

Hancock 2 Release Date

Look for the Hancock Sequel in summer 2014.

Who’s In It?

Rumored Cast includes : Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman all returning.

The Good

Hancock was a good story, but a terrible movie. His real life struggles made him likable , and easy to connect with.

The Bad

He’s invincible by all accounts, so our guess is they would make the new Hancock film a love story between Smith and Theron.. possibly with the boy getting in the way.

Our Clever Prediction

When Hancock 2 finally gets made, it will be a financial success like the first one, but fans of the comics will once again leave disappointed, wondering why they paid money for another shitty superhero movie.
