Hancock, the 2008 superhero film starring Will Smith, has been added to Pluto TV's free streaming library, giving it renewed visibility nearly two decades after its cinema release. The film is notable for having outperformed Iron Man at the box office that year, despite receiving mixed reviews, and for a long-rumoured sequel that has never materialised. Its addition to a free platform makes it more accessible to younger audiences unfamiliar with the title.

Directed by Peter Berg, Hancock stars Smith as a self-destructive immortal superhero who reforms his public image after a PR professional, played by Jason Bateman, helps rebrand him. Charlize Theron co-stars as another immortal being connected to him. Made on a $150 million budget, the film grossed almost $630 million worldwide, and was co-written by Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad) and co-produced by Michael Mann, though it holds only a 42% score on Rotten Tomatoes. A sequel has been discussed for years, with Smith suggesting in 2025 that Zendaya could be involved, though nothing concrete has been confirmed.
