Will Smith As A Drunk Superman
We haven't mentioned much about Will Smith's upcoming summer movie Hancock, where he plays an alcoholic, homeless superhero who does a hell of a lot more collateral damage than he does good.

Eventually Hancock gets cleaned up and put back on his feet by publicist Jason Bateman, and then he promptly has an affair with Bateman's wife, Charlize Theron.
