For those of you who don't know, Smith's scientist character was killed in the last film (therefore making a sequel impossible).
And, at this point, it appears that Smith's role as alcoholic superhero Hancock, could also be ready for a sequel.
At least, that's what Charlize Theron said.
"If everybody's on board, I would be an idiot (not to do it) . . ." Theron recently said in an interview with MTV. "Riding the Will Smith train is a really nice train to ride."
