HANCOCK 2
⚡ Story (No Spoilers)
Since the events of the first film, Hancock has been keeping a low profile, acting as a behind-the-scenes guardian for major cities. But when a series of global power failures coincide with supernatural storms, he senses something familiar:
Another immortal has awakened. Not a pair…
but an entire forgotten lineage.
A mysterious figure known only as Azrael (Pedro Pascal) emerges—an immortal who claims that Hancock and Mary abandoned their ancient responsibility:
to protect humanity from The Celestial Fall, a cosmic event that once nearly wiped out their kind.
Azrael believes the only way to save Earth is for immortals to reclaim dominance—and he begins gathering rogue superpowered beings who have lived in hiding for centuries.
To stop him, Hancock must:
-
Reunite with Mary
-
Train a volatile young immortal (John Boyega)
-
And uncover the truth behind their species’ origin
The deeper Hancock digs, the more he realizes that his immortality may be tied to a catastrophic secret.
