Hopefully, this would include the long-anticipated sequel to another popular Smith movie of the 2000sHancock.
Unfortunately, such a film never came to be.
Now, 16 years later, Smith’sI Am Legendis getting a sequelinstead.
While this isn’t the movie I wanted.
I’m hoping it’s at least the first step.
Predicting the movie’s success is even more complicated, considering theaters have struggled since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hancock 2 was a planned sequel to the 2008 superhero action film. Continuing around the ideas established in the first film, which centered around a superpowered immortal man and woman, Hancock 2 would introduce a third member to the group with similar powers. As of 2020, the film has yet to enter production.
UntilI Am Legend 2releases, we don’t know whether Smith’s return will be profitable.
The inverse is also true.
This is a bit frustrating sinceHancockdeserved a sequel more thanI Am Legend.
I Am Legend 2is expected to release sometime in 2025.
2008’sHancockwas the perfect superhero origin story, and the implication was always that more movies would be forthcoming.
While the better part of two decades has come and gone, all of this is still true.
Unfortunately, that’s not the situation we are in.
As previously mentioned, the project was greenlit back in 2009, only a year afterHancockwas released.
