Columbia has set writers Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara to pen
Hancock 2, the sequel to the Will Smith superhero movie, which grossed $624 million worldwide last year, according to
The Hollywood Reporter.
The plot details are being kept under wraps, though the scribes will work with Smith and director Peter Berg to build on the world hinted at in the first movie.
The original starred Smith as a boozy, irresponsible superhero who undergoes an image makeover by a public relations man. It later is revealed that the hero is part of a line of immortal beings who have been around for more than 3,000 years and begin to lose their powers when in proximity to fellow immortals.
Hancock, originally titled
Tonight He Comes, took more than 12 years to make it to the screen; the sequel will be on a faster track.
No production date has been set.

Personally he's lost me as a fan, I would rather watch his old films now.
First: There is Global Warming. I think we all know that.
Second: The MTV awards suck major balls. If you were as smat or as "right" as you make yourself out to be, you would know that.
Third: Judging by how you defend this so badly, you wouldn't know a geat movie if it slapped you in the face. Prove me wong.
And fourth: none of us are bashing this movie. we all agreed its fun, but could have been better by far, with the potential it had. We just want this to be better.
And last: Telling us to shut up..over the internet.. Whats the point in that? I mean, do you get it? I sure don't.
im open to hearing about how it'll be better than the first though.
