Washington
(ANI):
Plans
to
make
sequel
to
superhero
comedy
Hancock
has
been
put
on
hold
to
allow
actor
Will
Smith
to
spend
more
time
with
his
family,
according
to
director
Peter
Berg.
Berg
had
recently
confirmed
that
Smith
and
his
co-star
Charlize
Theron
would
both
reprise
their
roles
in
a
follow-up
to
the
hit
2008
movie.
However,
the
plans
have
been
deferred
as
Smith
takes
break
from
movies
to
enjoy
life
with
his
wife,
Jada,
and
help
his
son,
Jayden,
in
his
a
starring
role
in
the
new
Karate
Kid
picture.
Berg
is
adamant
Hancock
2
will
get
made,
but
it
may
take
longer
than
expected.
"It''s
being
written
now
and
it''s
an
issue
of
everybody
involved
in
Hancock.
There
are
so
many
cooks
in
that
particular
kitchen
that
it''s
so
busy
and
Will
has
kind
of
taken
time
off
to
be
with
his
kids
and
his
kids
are
now
making
all
kinds
of
films," Contactmusic
quoted
Berg
as
telling
The
Latino
Review.
“There
are
so
many
people
involved
in
that,
from
Will
to
his
(business)
partner
James
Lassiter
to
Michael
Mann,
myself
and
to
get
us
all
in
the
same
room
just
like
this
where
we
can
all
talk
and
then
agree
on
anything,
you''ve
never
met
a
group
of
people
that
have
a
harder
time
agreeing
on
anything.
"It''s
like
the
Israeli
peace
process
times
a
thousand
how
tough
it
is
to
resolve.
I
think
it''ll
happen
though.
We
just
have
to
kind
of
get
in
the
same
room
for
some
consistency," he
added
