Actor Will Smith talked to JoBlo recently while promoting Seven Pounds and told them that a sequel to his superhero movie Hancock will “definitely” be happening. When asked if he would play more superheroes in the future, Smith told them that “there were a lot of unexplored characters in the Hancock universe that would be ripe for a sequel and confirmed that we’ll definitely see the rumored Hancock 2 in a few years.” Hancock, which was released on the week of July 4th earlier this summer, earned a respectable $228 million at the box office.

Does this mean if Wild Wild West had made money, as bad as it was, there would have been a sequel? Yikes.

Seven Pounds will be in theaters December 19th.

Ain’t It Cool News came across this email about the change from prequel to sequel of the next I Am Legend film.

“Let’s start at the beginning. Smith is actually the one who developed the initial story. It took place several years before the original film and there were still pockets of survivors and the story centered around Smith interacting, bonding, and ultimately failing to save them. For months this was the story. Warner’s didn’t much care for it and Smith and Weiss eventually came on board and all parties agreed to change things up. Well this change is pretty insane, the film is no longer a prequel, it’s a f*&^ing sequel!”
