1* DevelopmentHell: There were talks about a sequel in 2009 and 2012, and nothing has emerged since.
2* FakeAmerican: Creator/EddieMarsan (Red) is British.
3* NoStuntDouble: Daeg Faerch did all his own stunts.
4* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
5** Creator/BenAffleck, Creator/GeorgeClooney, Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio, Creator/MattDamon, and Creator/DaveChappelle were considered for the titular role before the casting of Creator/WillSmith.
6** Creator/MichaelMann and Creator/TonyScott were considered to direct the film before Creator/PeterBerg was hired.
7** The film evolved out of a much more adult script called ''"Tonight, He Comes"'', which was known mostly for its concept of a superhero who can't have sex because his ejaculations blow his lovers up (an argument first proposed in ''[[Creator/LarryNiven Man of Steel, Women of Kleenex]]''). A comedic scene along those lines was included in the extended edition of the film, with Hancock telling the woman to move away before, well...
8*** A much lesser-known draft of the film that was picked up in 2001 was about a bond between a troubled homeless 12-year-old and a fallen drunk superhero.
