Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman are all onboard to reprise their immortal god and PR guru roles, respectively, in a sequel to last year's summer blockbuster.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the 3,000-year-old world from whence Smith's and Theron's characters came will be explored, with the dynamic duo teaming up to deal with a third ne'er-do-well.

Fingers crossed he doesn't wind up eating those words.
