We've Got to Give 'Hancock 2' a Shot… Right?
Core trio set to return...
Word has it that not only will we see Will Smith back in the title role of Hancock 2, but Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman are also set to return for the sequel to the critically panned 2008 box-office success Hancock.
There remain scant plot details with Variety saying Smith and Theron will once again play immortal gods, who lose their powers when in each other's presence. The two must pair up to deal with a third entity. The actioner is expected to explore the 3,000-year-old world they're from, which was only hinted at in the first film.
Recently Berg told Sci-Fi Wire the film may incorporate another god and added more telling MTV, "We're looking at exploring [Smith and Theron's] relationship prior to when we first met them and seeing a bit of what happened as a prequel. I think we danced around the concept of an origins and we settled on something that is very substantive. That will part of the sequel."
As someone that did not enjoy the original all that much, I still find myself interested if only for my interest in Peter Berg as a director and a certain level of expectation when it comes to Smith, Theron and Bateman. I mean, how can you count out a film with that trio before you've seen it? I know I can't.
