There will be no Will Smith in the sequel. The film answers that, explaining that Smith’s character was promoted to Colonel in 2007 but died shortly after as a result of complications in testing out the first alien hybrid fighter.
But his legacy is carried on by his wife, played by Vivica A. Fox, and son. Also returning to the sequel are Jeff Goldblum, Judd Hirsch and Bill Pullman.

The trailer gave away like 10 minutes of the movie, but so much happened after those ten minutes. The story took on several permutations I thought were clever and surprising. Megamind was pretty great for me.
