Will Smith can’t help but tease sequel news 20 years after one of his biggest hits.
Smith starred in Hancock back in 2008, with the superhero movie taking in over $600 million on a reported $150 million budget. A follow-up was all but certain, but has remained simply an idea in the ensuing years.
Then Smith appeared on the xQc Twitch live stream and dropped some new nuggets of info—including a big casting rumor—about Hancock coming back, according to Variety.
“There’s a cool, really cool Hancock 2 idea. We haven’t even talked about it. I’m going to give you one little piece. Zendaya is being approached for a role in Hancock 2,” he said on Twitch.
The Peter Berg-directed Hancock took a different spin on the superhero movie by Smith portraying one as an amnesiac, alcoholic who would have to deal with all the damage he left behind when saving the world. Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron co-starred as a couple saved by Smith who then helped revamp his public persona.

One year after the original movie’s success, its director Berg said in an interview with MTV News that “everybody’s going to come back for a sequel.” As recently as 2020 Theron told ComicBook she would do a sequel “in a heartbeat.”
The movie’s production company Sony had no comment on a sequel. There has also been no public comment from Spider-Man and Euphoria star Zendaya.
Hancock is available to rent and buy on Apple, Amazon, and elsewhere. Check out the original trailer below.
