Will Smith is back at it again, dropping hints like he’s leaving a breadcrumb trail for a sequel to Hancock—you know, that 2008 superhero flick where he played a grumpy, reckless, borderline unemployed Superman with a drinking problem.
Yes, nearly two decades later (because Hollywood is legally required to reboot or sequel-ify anything that made at least $5 at the box office), Will is teasing Hancock 2. And guess what? He’s eyeing none other than Zendaya to join the fun. Because if you want a blockbuster, you gotta sprinkle in some Zendaya—it’s like adding hot sauce to a bland meal.
During a Twitch live stream with xQc (because that’s where all serious movie announcements happen now), Will casually threw out the bombshell:
“There’s a really cool, really cool *Hancock 2* idea,” he said, clearly excited. “We haven’t even talked about it, so I’m gonna give you one little piece—Zendaya will be being being approached for a role in Hancock 2.”
Yes, you read that correctly. He said “being being being” like he was buffering in real life. Iconic.
As for plot details? Sony is staying as silent as a library after hours. No official confirmation, no script leaks, not even a cryptic teaser tweet with just an emoji. But don’t worry—if Hancock 2 becomes a real thing, you’ll hear about it faster than a celebrity breakup scandal.
Oh, and Will also took a moment to hype up Michael B. Jordan, who’s stepping into the I Am Legend sequel:
“There’s a scope of understanding that Michael B. Jordan has that everybody doesn’t have. He’s a rare one,” Will said, basically calling MBJ the cinematic equivalent of a unicorn.
So, to recap: Hancock 2 might be happening. Zendaya might be in it. And Will Smith is officially using Twitch streams as his personal press conference. Stay tuned.
