As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, there has been no official confirmation of a sequel to Hancock (2008) titled Hancock 2, nor has a release date of 2025 been announced.

However, Hancock, the original film directed by Peter Berg, starred Will Smith as the title character, an alcoholic and disgraced superhero with the ability to fly and superhuman strength, but who is also a deeply flawed and somewhat antisocial figure. The film explored his efforts to redeem himself after an image makeover, with the help of a public relations expert (played by Jason Bateman) and a mysterious woman (played by Charlize Theron) who shares a complicated history with Hancock.

There had been talks of a sequel for many years, but these plans were put on hold for various reasons, including scheduling conflicts with Will Smith and the changing direction of the film’s creative team. Over time, the interest in a Hancock sequel fluctuated, and as of the last reports, the project was still in development limbo.

That being said, it’s possible that new developments could occur after my knowledge cutoff, and it’s always worth keeping an eye on entertainment news sources for the latest updates on potential sequels or franchise reboots.

If a Hancock 2 does eventually get confirmed, it would likely continue the character’s exploration of redemption, his complicated relationship with his powers, and possibly introduce new conflicts or villains for the hero to face.
