Smith to get 'Hancock' sequel?

Will Smith has begun negotiations to star in a follow-up to summer blockbuster Hancock, reports say.

The Seven Pounds actor is said to be in the final stages of securing a deal to reprise his role as the down-and-out superhero, according to Page Six.

The actor already has one follow-up in the works, with a prequel to box office hit I Am Legend recently confirmed.

"He is ready to do both," an insider revealed. "Producers are just trying to get Charlize Theron to sign on for the Hancock sequel."

No details have been released about the Hancock storyline but the I Am Legend sequel will reportedly take place several years before the original film.

"It will be about how the disease spreads and the fall of the last great American city," said the source. "It will also develop the relationship between Will's character and his wife."
