If you can’t get enough of liquored up superheroes, then you’re probably going to be about as happy as I am to hear the news that Hancock will be coming back for a second round. And by current reports, both Will Smith and Charlize Theron will also be back. No word as of yet if Jason Bateman will be coming back also, though for all our sakes, I really hope so. Unless, of course, it interferes with the shooting of the Arrested Development movie.  Then and only then am I prepared to live without them.

There is no word yet on the simple things, like when they’ll start shooting this, or even what it’s about, but for right now, it’s news enough just knowing that it’s coming eventually.

I’m actually looking forward to it myself, because Hancock was definitely not the kind of superhero you ordinarily saw.  And any time Hollywood can manage to do something even vaguely original, I know I want to be in line for it.

Original in Hollywood is kind of like a comet– you just plain don’t see that many of them.
