Rampant Hancock 2 Speculation Within!


That Peter Berg is such a coy fellow. In an interview with MTV, he confirmed that both Will Smith and Charlize Theron will indeed be back reprising their roles in Hancock 2. That's not really much of a surprise. But what's all this other nonsense about a MAJOR name they've approached to play presumably another member of the immortal clan. Director Peter Berg says...

"I'm not gonna tell you who, but we have [someone in mind]!" teases the director.

Ugh. I hate surprises. Especially ones like this. Just how many major names could it be that would be worth hiding? Deniro? Pacino? I could see any one of these two playing some sort of elder member of the family. Why, it could be there own superhero version of Meet the Parents. Who knows? Or Tom Cruise...now that would be interesting. Plus he's a scientologist so he's gotta be a diehard sci-fi guy. The only other contender I think is worth being secretive about is...Meryl Streep. Couldn't be, right? Nah. Although it'd be sweet if she wore her outfit from Doubt as her superhero getup...
