First Pics Of Hancock In Costume

Cine21 has the first images of Will Smith in full regalia in the upcoming comedy Hancock, in which he plays a superhero who's not so much reluctant as aggressively incompetent. You can click here to see both pictures.

Now, two things strike us here. First, did someone just go and raid the X-Men movies' wardrobe, tear off the X's and throw on some gold piping? Also, when did Will Smith get so freakin' young? The guy's nearly forty for chrissakes, but he looks about 23 here.

Seriously though, it's a wonder Smith hasn't played a superhero before now. Even if his costume does make him look a bit like the dastardly twin of Evel Knievel (Evil Knievel?), he looks every inch the superhero and we're hoping that this movie delivers on the terrific trailer, which you should watch here if you haven't already seen it. We haven't seen a great action comedy in years. Probably since Men In Black.
