Hancock 2 will be coming to a big screen near you soon… a sequel to Hancock is in the works, with writers hired to pen the superhero followup.

TV writers Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara (The Shield) are lined up to write Hancock 2, but no plot details or casting information (except that Will Smith will return) have yet to be revealed.

Hancock made $624 million last summer.

Will Smith continues to be the fourth of July weekend box office champ – his “Hancock” swept the box office, earning $66 million over the weekend. Since its opening on Tuesday night, Hancock has raked in $107.3 million.

To say that Will Smith has the magic touch when it comes to Fourt of July ticket sales is an understatement – Hancock is his fifth movie to open at number one over the holiday weekend.

“WALL-E,” “Wanted,” “Get Smart” and “Kung Fu Panda” rounded out the top five at the box office.

Looking for Hancock spoilers? I’ve been reading a lot of spoiler alert-ridden blog posts online and find that people are saying there’s a twist in Hancock that the original movie trailers didn’t let on about.

While I’m not going to hand down any Hancock spoilers personally, be aware of a plot twist and know that most reviewers are finding Hancock to be more of a drama than a action comedy movie.

Also, stick around through the final credits – there’s a Hancock bonus scene that’s worth a look.

Will Will Smith be a Legend With Hancock?

Jon Roth — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 17:09:56 +0000

Hancock is the next film that Will Smith will appear in, and is slated for a July 2nd, 2008 release. He plays a down and out superhero who needs an image reboot. The movie also stars Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman and others.

Smith currently appears as the last man on Earth in I am Legend, which just broke the all time box office record for a December opening, taking in $75.6 million this past weekend. Maybe this will get him removed from the list of most overpaid Hollywood actors.

What I love about Will Smith is that whatever he does, he does it big. Smith will also appear in Seven Pounds and Time Share in 2008.
