Hancock 2 Broken Gods: The Epic Return of the Reluctant Hero
Immortality was once considered a divine curse, but in this high stakes sequel, mortality might be the only weapon powerful enough to save the world. Hancock 2 Broken Gods explodes onto the screen, finally ending the eighteen year cinematic separation between the last known celestial beings on Earth. For nearly two decades, John Hancock, portrayed by Will Smith, has mastered the difficult art of being a hero from a distance. He has spent his years protecting humanity from the shadows, staying far away from Mary, played by Charlize Theron, to ensure that their proximity does not drain their powers and lead to their inevitable deaths.
The delicate balance of their existence is shattered when a violent new force crashes to Earth, disrupting the peace Hancock worked so hard to maintain. Michael B Jordan enters the franchise as Ares, a rogue immortal previously thought to be a myth or lost to history. Unlike Hancock and Mary, Ares has absolutely no interest in blending in with humanity or protecting the weak. Instead, he views humans as subjects to be ruled and intends to reshape the world in his own image. With raw physical power that rivals Hancock’s own and a thirst for global chaos, Ares forces a reunion that fate had strictly forbidden.
Will Smith delivers a powerful performance as a weary and weathered hero, while Charlize Theron returns with a fierce and tragic elegance, portraying a woman torn between her survival instincts and her eternal love. Jason Bateman also returns as Ray Embrey, who has evolved into a seasoned and savvy PR strategist. Ray now faces the impossible task of managing a public relations nightmare: a full scale war between gods that threatens to level entire cities and expose the truth about the origins of humanity.
The central conflict presents a devastating twist. In order to defeat the overwhelming power of Ares, Hancock and Mary must stand together and fight side by side. However, the closer they get to one another, the more human and vulnerable they become. The sequel raises the stakes to catastrophic levels as the duo realizes they must embrace their own mortality to find the strength necessary to win. Packed with bone shaking sonic boom action sequences and heart wrenching moments of sacrifice, Hancock 2 Broken Gods asks the ultimate question: is saving the world worth dying for the one you love?
