Will Smith is sparking major buzz among fans with his recent revelation on Twitch, where he hinted at the possibility of Hancock 2, and more excitingly, teased that Zendaya might be joining the cast. During an unexpected appearance on popular Twitch streamer xQc’s channel, Smith—now 56—dropped the bombshell after a fan inquired about the rumored sequel to his 2008 superhero flick Hancock. With his signature humor, Smith responded, “They be leaking all my information,” before casually adding that Zendaya is being considered for a role in the upcoming film.
The original Hancock, directed by Peter Berg, presented Smith as a reckless, amnesiac superhero who struggles with his powers, relationships, and public image. The movie featured a strong supporting cast, including Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron, and brought a fresh, gritty twist to the superhero genre. Despite Hancock being a box-office hit, the sequel has long been a topic of speculation and desire among fans. Various insiders, including Berg and Theron, have expressed interest in returning to the world of Hancock, but a formal announcement for a sequel has been slow to materialize.
Now, with Smith teasing Zendaya’s involvement, the Hancock 2 rumors are intensifying. Zendaya, known for her dynamic roles in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Euphoria, has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stars. Her addition to Hancock 2 could bring a fresh layer of intrigue to the film, as she is known for her versatility and ability to add depth to her roles, whether in dramas or action-packed films. Fans are already excited by the thought of the actress potentially joining the franchise, eager to see how her character would interact with Smith’s troubled hero, Hancock.
In addition to this potential sequel, Smith has been revisiting some of his past successes, including plans for an I Am Legend sequel, which will feature the talented Michael B. Jordan. This has sparked interest in other beloved franchises from his career, and with Hancock 2 on the horizon, it seems Smith is looking to breathe new life into his past superhero persona. The prospect of him returning to the Hancock universe, especially with Zendaya in the mix, has superhero fans buzzing with anticipation.
Despite Hancock 2 still being in the realm of rumors and speculation, Smith’s latest comments have brought the sequel back into the spotlight, and with Zendaya potentially involved, it could be a game-changer for the franchise. Fans are now anxiously awaiting official confirmation to see if Hancock 2 will take flight and whether the on-screen duo of Smith and Zendaya will electrify audiences.
