Will Smith is considering a sequel to his popular 2008 film Hancock, and he’s already thinking about Zendaya for a potential role! The 56-year-old actor revealed this during a recent Twitch stream with xQc, hinting at exciting plans for Hancock 2. “There’s a really cool, really cool Hancock 2 idea,” Will mentioned, piquing the interest of fans.
“We haven’t even talked about it, so I’ll give you one little piece – Zendaya will be approached for Hancock 2, for a role in Hancock 2.”
This revelation has everyone buzzing about what might come next for the superhero film that earned over $629 million globally.

Will Smith, famous for his blockbuster films, seems keen to step back into the shoes of the flawed superhero John Hancock. The original movie, which starred Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman, was a box office hit despite receiving mixed reviews.
With Zendaya’s rising star from her roles in Euphoria and Spider-Man, her potential involvement could inject new life into the sequel. Although Sony Pictures hasn’t confirmed anything yet, the thought of these two talented actors collaborating is enough to excite fans.

Just imagine Zendaya entering this superhero universe—perhaps as Hancock’s daughter or a new formidable character? Her recent success in Challengers and the upcoming Euphoria Season 3, set for 2026, makes her a prime candidate for major projects. Will didn’t go into details, but his enthusiasm suggests something grand is in the works.
Charlize Theron has previously stated she’d return “in a heartbeat,” so the sequel could bring back familiar faces alongside new ones. As of February 21, 2025, this is the latest buzz—could Hancock 2 be the next big hit? Keep an eye out for more updates on this exciting possibility!
