Superhero films are incredibly popular, and it’s easy to see why – stories about people with amazing powers are exciting and capture our imaginations. While many superhero movies are based on comic books, some are original stories created specifically for the big screen, offering a fresh take for fans beyond characters like Batman and Superman. And now, a recent hit film starring Will Smith as a different kind of hero is available to stream for free this month on Tubi.
This month on Tubi, you can watch Hancock, the 2008 film starring Will Smith. He plays John Hancock, a superpowered hero with the ability to fly, incredible strength, and invulnerability. However, Hancock struggles with alcoholism and often acts carelessly. His actions in Los Angeles as a superhero have damaged his public image, so he hires a PR expert to help. The movie also features Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman.
Hancock Was a Box Office Hit (But Where Is The Sequel Smith Has Teased?)
Despite receiving mixed reviews, the movie Hancock was a financial success, earning $629.4 million worldwide and becoming the fourth highest-grossing film of 2008. This success led many to believe a sequel was inevitable, and director Peter Berg even hinted at it. However, a second film never came to fruition. Most recently, Will Smith mentioned a sequel was in the works last year, and Zendaya was reportedly being considered for a leading role.
It’s not entirely unexpected that a sequel to Hancock is taking so long, considering the first film’s difficult production history. The original story was written in 1996, but it spent years stuck in development with multiple directors considered before finally being made in 2007. This suggests Hancock 2 might be facing similar challenges, though that doesn’t rule it out completely. We’ve seen many sequels announced long after the originals – like the upcoming Practical Magic 2 and The Mummy 4 – so a sequel could simply be a matter of patience. Luckily, with the original Hancock now available to stream for free, fans can re-enjoy the movie while they wait.
