The first photos of Will Smith’s costume from this summer’s superhero-pastiche Hancock are here for your eyes. Personally, the trailer for Peter Berg’s film caught my attention in the first place because the character was shown duking it out in mid-air out against highway signs wearing his signature rumpled street clothes. The new garb resembles a futuristic-biker’s, especially with the majestic bird on the back. That’s not a criticism, though. You know, I can’t pin it down, but this costume reminds me of one in another film, possibly from the ’80s. Anyone care to fill in my memory on this happy Monday?

  • Steelo
    Reminds me of an MC Hammer video
  • Lewis
    Are they filming this in Vancouver? And if no, what is Will Smith filming in Vancouver?
  • jojo
    Meteor Man?
  • Hunter Stephenson
    @Steelo

    If we're going there, I'd say a Rick James video.
  • Steelo
    specifically: "2 Legit 2 Quit"
  • kevin
    Reminds me of "meteor man"
  • It looks familiar cause he looks like a Power Ranger without the helmet.

    I thought I might have been thinking of The Wraith with Charlie Sheen, but after seeing this jpeg, that's not it.

    What is it!? This is buggin' me now.
  • Matt
    Wait a second... isn't Will Smith an actor?
  • It looks like the costumes from the original X-Men movie.
  • Tim
    Reminds me a bit of the costumes from "Mystery Men".
  • Meli
    I was thinking Mystery Men too.
  • Andy
    Reminds me more of the Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation Video.
  • Michael
    I was thinking Judge Dredd.
  • Jerry Butler
    Judge Dred ftw!
  • Maybe it reminds you guys of all these different movies 'cuz the suits in those movies ALL LOOKED THE SAME! :P
  • Who ever thought they could make spandex look cool, really. Remember the Power Rangers? Their suits were simply god-awful.
  • Steelo
    It is pretty generic
  • Nick
    That old Disney Channel show, "The Famous Jett Jackson". It looks EXACTLY like his suit!
  • he looks like an extra, a dancer, on an oldschool Afrika Bambatta video.
  • Jerry Butler
    to sum up.......he looks like a dumb ass.
  • Hunter Stephenson
    I don't think it's Mystery Men, however good guess. It might be a mix of X-Men 1, The Wraith, Rick James, Power Rangers, MC Hammer, and Uma's Kill Bill biker get-up gone purple, and if so, wow.

    But I don't think that's it.

    And I'm sorry VR Troopers, you lose again.
  • GregoryV
    The Phantom?
  • Captain Awesome
    Will shouldn't let his wife design his big-boy movie clothes. It looks like something found in Rick James closet.
  • Sean K
    It's gotta be Eddie Murphy's outfit in Raw, only updated slightly
  • McLovin
    lol @ Nick... Jett Jackson
  • roebert
    reminds me of Cameo - Word Up
  • Those glasses make him look like Ray Charles.
  • Anthony V.
    Suit looks like FEEDBACK ... winner of the first season of Stan Lee's Who Wants to Be a Superhero...

  • Actually, that suit looks like the suits from x-men.
  • James F.
    It's a weird hybrid of Sylvester Stallone movies...

    Over the Top plus Judge Dredd :)
  • Mercutio
    I'd say it was the Judge too

    http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0113492/Ss/01134...

    If not that, then it has to be something from Back to the Future, when Marty goes and saves his future self...
  • John
    First thought was Blade.
  • wow
    lawrence fishburn doing his Eddie murphys RAW IMITATION
  • Jabb
    It's got to be Condor Man. Come on!
  • Heather
    What about The Running Man?
  • Hunter Stephenson
    @ Sean K.

    I think Eddie Murphy's RAW combined with the first X-Men film is what I was thinking of. Thanks for ending my anguish.
  • DaNni
    Mad Max?
