There is a really, really cool idea for Hancock 2. We haven't even talked about it, so I'll tell you a little bit about it. Zendaya [is] addressed for a role in Hancock 2.

That sounds like quite large (and concrete) plans for the future, it remains to be seen whether both films make it beyond development and in the end really end up in the cinema. I on Legend 2 is on the right track with a screenwriter.

Meanwhile, it looks a little better for I am Legend (2007), because it gets 68 percent from fans and critics (viaRotten Tomatoes).

The blockbuster is about the virologist Dr. Robert Neville (Will Smith), who killed billions of people with a modified measles virus - which was originally supposed to be used to heal cancer.
