WILL SMITH'S HANCOCK LINING UP FUTURE MISADVENTURES

The $600 million that last year's Hancock made pretty much ensured that Columbia Pictures (also eager to keep making Spider-Man movies) would be looking into continuing the Will Smith superhero franchise. The studio has hired Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara, producers and writers of TV's The Shield, to work on a sequel that will further explore the world iand mythology introduced in the first movie. Hancock has the distinction of being the rare superhero movie that wasn't actually based upon an existing comic book, so the writers are basically free to create and explore any new concepts they want, building upon the events of the first film. In Hancock, Will Smith played an irresponsible superhero with amazing powers that gets an image makeover and discovers things about himself in the process. It's likely that Columbia is expecting Will Smith to return for the sequel
