Berg Confirmes Smith and Theron for ‘Hancock 2’

It wasn’t long ago that word came down that ‘Hancock 2’ was in the works.  Within a span of a week, the project had director Peter Berg making declarations about the storyline and had two screenwriters jumping on board for Columbia.  Now, it appears the two leads for the first ‘Hancock’ will be returning.

MTV caught up with Berg about Will Smith and Charlize Theron’s involvement in the sequel.

Everybody’s going to come back for a sequel.

That’s what Berg had to say on the matter.  This confirms something Theron stated to MTV last September when she said she would follow Smith wherever her went.

In the article from MTV, Berg also makes mention of [SPOILERS AHEAD] his potential third superhero who would pop up in the sequel.  He stated he had a well-known player in mind to fill the role.

We have [someone in mind].  I’m not gonna tell you who, but we have!

With everything moving awfully fast on ‘Hancock 2,’ we might expect an official announcement from Columbia in the coming weeks as to a start date and a potential release date.
