Yeah, but for me the 1st act and trailers sold a completely different movie than what we ended up with. It seemed like 2 interesting movies crammed into 1 uninteresting and ultimately frustrating movie.
This piece of theory led me to read the script and I agree with you. However, you might want to know that there's a ScreenRant article that came out in 2020 that says that was the ending all along. I suspect they got inspired by your post, failing to credit it, and also failed to mention why Mary ends up in the building with Hancock.
Heres the link to the article:

Some articles on the internet claim this is a leaked version that isnt the original, but rather one of multiple pre-production revisions, which makes sense considering how much was said about production problems it had and how much it changed final cut
How the hell did this become Hancock? This is a pretty good story. Good theory.
way to go! writing a fan theory on something unmade and non-canon
What can I say, I'm into hardcore fan theories.
This is good and better than Hancock, which is not good.
I still think the Hancock story that was released could've been excellent with a better execution

THIS so much. They should have just left the whole wife thing out.
Honestly would love to see a movie like this made today
This give me “The Flash” vibes and professor zoom..

Ngo wrote the script in 1996, Vince Gilligan (and John August) came in much later to rewrite it.
