According to Wei Dasen (reporting in China.org.cn) Chow's company has its sites set on a CG-heavy, explosion-packed comedy. Chow mentioned before that he wanted to work with funnyman Jack Black on his next project, and Hathaway is known for tackling big-budget comedy features in between her indie projects, so the timing seems right. But what kind of superhero would Hathaway be? My guess: a by-the-book action star who needs loosening up... enter Jack Black. Hopefully it'll be a bit more creative than that, but probably not. Chow is currently writing the screenplay and will also co-star.

Maybe it's because of that whole serious-actress cred she's clutching for with her new Jonathan Demme movie, but Hathaway wants to see her cool sexy spy character Agent 99 have a bit of a breakdown:

I’d like her to get into unexpected trouble. I’d love to see 99 lose control. I’d love to see something happen to 99 where her heart gets broken, and you see her have a complete emotional collapse. That could be really funny.

Strangely enough, I don't really associate "Anne Hathaway," "complete emotional collapse" and "funny." Of course, any Smart sequel would have to show us Agents 86 and 99 dating, but I would still hope they'd keep a bit of her superior, polished agent who's done it all vibe. After all, Max Smart's not going to stop being a bumbling doofus, and he needs someone to bounce that lost-puppy vibe off of. I'm not sure it would be much fun to watch if they're both losers.
