Will Smith plans a "Hancock 2"

Will Smith says that fans can expect a sequel of "Hancock" in a few years, reports JoBlo, who caught up with the actor while promoting "Seven Pounds".

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.

Hancock did very well at the box office, though critics didn’t warm up to film. I saw the movie again when it went out on DVD and I still thought it was great entertainment. It certainly had a different spin to the superhero genre.

“Hancock” – numbers at the box office

Does Will Smith still have the magic touch?

His new movie Hancock opened a week ago and it stayed at No. 1 domestically AND internationally on its opening weekend. Depends on what you read, the superhero film made over anywhere from $103 million to $186 million worldwide.

Good numbers, right? Not so says some box office analysts.

It’s predicted that Hancock will not break the $300 million mark. Reviews have been mixed, with mostly a B+ grade from audiences. Hmm, I say that Will Smith has bigger problems in his hands right now, than worrying about Hancock’s performance in theaters. His daughter Willow Smith’s movie Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, which opened on the same day totally bombed. Yeah, girl, blame in on dad.

"Hancock" star Will Smith on Letterman

Grace — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 04:56:34 +0000

Will Smith is promoting his latest superhero/comedy movie “Hancock” on David Letterman’s show this Monday and two started flirting with each other. And just for fun, Will and Dave kissed. David could not remember Will Smith’s movies and refered to one of them as “that other one, that killed me”. Will openly admires the white women of Russia, where he promoted Hancock lately.

Incidentally, Will Smith’s daughter Willow has a new movie “An American Girl” coming out at the same date as her father. Will admits having to tell his daughter that he’s unfortunately going to cream her film at the box office.

Hancock: New movie trailer

Hancock
In theaters: July 2, 2008
Genre: action/comedy/superhero

“With great powers come great responsibility.”… not to Hancock it doesn’t!

Hancock (Will Smith) does not care about being a hero, or having superpowers. And from the damage he’s done to the citizens of Los Angeles, they want nothing of him too. So how can a homeless superhero change his public image?

With the help of a ~~sidekick~~ Public Relations Executive!

Hancock: Movie images and trailer

Hancock
In theaters: July 2, 2008
Genre: action/comedy/superhero

Hancock (Will Smith) is not your average superhero. He is edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, misunderstood, and… homeless.

He saves countless lives, but leaves jaw-dropping damage in their wake.

Finally, the good people of Los Angeles has had enough, until Hancock saves the life of a PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman)… That’s when his life makes a turn around.

Directed by Peter Berg for Columbia Pictures, the movie also stars Charlize Theron and will premiere in theaters July 2, 2008.

Hancock: The un-superhero movie

Hancock
In theaters: July 2, 2008
Genre: action/comedy/superhero

“There are heroes.. there are superheroes.. and then there’s Hancock.”

The new Will Smith starrer gets on the bandwagon of superhero-centered movies this year. It has the action, the powers and even the tight-fitting costume. But it’s all for laughs!

Directed by Peter Berg for Columbia Pictures, the movie also stars Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron and will premiere in theaters July 2, 2008.
