Earlier this month, news came out of Hollywood that Columbia hired Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara to write "Hancock 2." It was then reported Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman would return for the sequel.
As it turns out, this is not entirely true. When speaking with Coming Soon recently, Bateman at least said no one has contacted him yet about reprising his role in the follow-up to the disastrous "Hancock."

I still hate the idea of Columbia moving forward with "Hancock 2," but that's how Hollywood works and I may just as well stop complaining. Today comes word the leading cast will also be back for the sequel of the terribly disappointing "Hancock."
MTV recently spoke to returning director Peter Berg ("The Kingdom," "Friday Night Lights"), who kind of confirmed Will Smith and Charlize Theron will both be back to reprise their roles. "Everybody's going to come back for a sequel," he said.
Remember "Hancock," that terrible superhero movie with Will Smith as a drunk who gets an image makeover? Yeah, THAT sucker. It's a mystery to me that anybody out there would ever want to see a sequel, but apparently that's the case, at least according to Columbia, which is developing "Hancock 2."
Yep, the disastrous film that grossed a shocking $624 million worldwide gets a sequel, and according to the Hollywood Reporter, Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara are set to write the script. Both have solid experience in television, working on shows such as "The Shield," "Crash" and "24" in several capacities.
