Will Smith and Charlize Theron Returning for ‘Hancock 2′
Will Smith and Charlize Theron in 'Hancock'
Things are moving quickly for Hancock 2. Less than a month ago we learned that Columbia Pictures were keen to fast track a sequel. We then heard Columbia had hired scribes Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara to write it.
In the latest news, MTV are reporting that actors Will Smith and Charlize Theron will definitely be returning too.
“Everybody’s going to come back for a sequel,” director Peter Berg told MTV.

In the original film, Will Smith starred as John Hancock, a superhero who we later learn is actually an immortal god. Charlize Theron starred as Mary Embrey who it turns out is also an immortal god and happens to be Hancock’s centuries old wife. They are both immortal gods but when they come into close proximity of each other, their powers wane as if they are each others kryptonite.
It’s too early to talk about plot synopsis, although we know the sequel will involve a third immortal god. One thing is for sure, whoever plays the role will have to be a big-name actor.
“We have [someone in mind],” Berg said. “I’m not gonna tell you who, but we have!”
At the rate at which news is surfacing, I’m guessing we’ll be hearing that name sooner rather than later.
