There needs to be a Hancock animated series, based on the movie..
Will Smith can supply the voice..
Sony/Columbia should be the studio behind it since they produced the movie..

he can go on all sorts of worldwide adventures, they should invent lots of new villains, including those with similar powers..
 
I haven't seen Hancock yet, so I don't know if the movie was open ended or not so's to lend itself to an endless series, however, if someone were to make a Hancock animated series, I can guarantee that Will Smith wouldn't be doing the voice. Smith is too busy being an A-List movie star to lend his voice to a weekly cartoon series.
 
Yeah Will Smith didn't provide his voice for Men In Black: The Animated Series either despite him not having as top billed as he is now. Kind of a shame too. I didn't see Hancock but just the idea seems like it would make a good actual series and Will Smith would make it really fun to watch. I don't know if I'd want to see a series based on it without him in it really but it is something that could be made and last a few seasons though. Personally it'd be best on Cartoon Network (so long as it was actually promoted well unlike Batman The Brave and the Bold) where it would be able to get away with more then you'd see on CW 11 or... well where else would it air for kids to watch nowadays anyway? Nick isn't interested in actual super hero toons and neither is Disney if it's not based off one of they're own properties.
 
Well, I really recommend Hancock for you who haven't seen it. Especially if you like Superhero's, yet realistic ones

I couldn't see Hancock as an animated series for KIDS, though. What, with all the boozing and ...issues with right and wrong. Hancock is more of an anti-hero at times. But the ending is very open ended (we don't even find out his real name), and Hancock as an animated character could probably do well without Will as his VA (just hire LaMarr)
 
:^: Or Keith Diamond, who voiced Smith's character of Agent J in Men in Black: The Series.



Mind you, this statement comes without the benefit of having seen the movie, but wouldn't having other people with Hancock-like powers negate the whole point of the movie, which was that Hancock himself and Charlize Theron's character Sarah were the only ones like them on Earth?

I agree that there should be some crazy villains to fight, otherwise it wouldn't be interesting (unless the series were to be done as a total comedy rather than an action show), but I would say that the number of metahuman characters should be kept to a minimum, and what few others who did appear on the show should have altogether different powers than Hancock. After all, if there are several other people in the world who can fly and lift mountains and the like, then what's so special about being Hancock?
 
I guess a TV series could work, although if it was aimed towards kids, the humor would be toned down a bit. One of the funniest parts of the movie was seeing Hancock doing things that are very anti-superhero like.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing an animated DTV showing a backstory for the characters.
 
"If you call me a jerk one more time..."

This WOULD work if they went total, Freakazoid-esque comedy with it, but being a little more serious than Freakazoid, of course.

The real question is what cable network would pick it up?! This isn't the 90's, there's no more Saturday Morning & syndication. Then again, the Wayside School books was finally made into a TV series in this age, so anything's possible...
 
That depends. I haven't seen it yet, but is the movie entirely inappropriate for kids? If not I could see it working on Cartoon Network as a PG show (to go with Total Drama Island, 6Teen and Clone Wars).
 
It could air as part of Cartoon Network's You Are Here lineup, or also Nicktoons Network, which will soon be airing 2 Marvel super hero shows (Wolverine and the X-Men and Iron Man--both of which are already airing outside of the U.S.).
