Hancock 2 brings back Will Smith’s iconic, reluctant superhero in a thrilling continuation of his story. The trailer opens with a nostalgic montage of scenes from the first film, reminding viewers of Hancock’s (Will Smith) past struggles with alcoholism, isolation, and his journey toward redemption. A voiceover from Hancock reflects on the events that changed his life: “I was supposed to be the only one… but nothing’s ever that simple.”
The screen cuts to present-day, where Hancock is shown living a more composed, quiet life. He’s still in Los Angeles, now sober and trying to blend into normal society. But as the trailer quickly reveals, Hancock’s peace is short-lived. In an early sequence, we see an explosion downtown, followed by chaotic scenes of destruction. A new threat has arrived, and Hancock is once again thrust into action.
A mysterious new superhuman villain, played by a yet-unnamed actor, is introduced. Unlike Hancock, this character has full control over their powers and uses them for destruction and chaos. We see glimpses of them leveling buildings, creating shockwaves, and engaging in superpowered fights that turn entire city blocks into rubble. Hancock watches this unfold, realizing that his days of being the “only one” are over.
The trailer showcases action-packed sequences with Hancock back in his suit, flying through the skies and battling the villain in mid-air combat. There are scenes of him crashing through buildings, rescuing civilians, and using his raw strength to contain the devastation. However, Hancock seems more restrained, trying to minimize collateral damage—he’s matured, but still grappling with the weight of his powers.
A subplot is teased involving Hancock’s former love, Mary (Charlize Theron). She returns with new information about their kind, revealing there are more superpowered beings who have surfaced, each with their own agenda. Mary warns Hancock that this new villain isn’t just looking to destroy; they’re seeking to uncover ancient secrets about their origins, threatening not only the city but the world.
The trailer builds toward a massive showdown between Hancock and the villain, with scenes of city-wide destruction, intense superhuman clashes, and Hancock being pushed to his limits. The teaser ends with a powerful shot of Hancock standing amid the wreckage, bloodied but determined, as he says, “You want a fight? You got one.”
The screen fades to black, revealing the title: “Hancock 2.” The tagline reads: “Some heroes never rest.” This sequel promises a thrilling blend of action, new challenges, and deeper exploration of Hancock’s identity.
