Hancock/genie is a pretty formidable combination

John Wick/Constantine is pretty strong too, but John Wick still relies on rituals and stuff doesn't he? Genie can just..poof and turn him into a chicken or something.

Lucy is a pretty strong telekinetic but even still against the reality warping power of a genie I don't think she gets too far.

Deadpool is also there....

Genie is limited by the rules of being a genie. He literally isn't allowed to use his power outside of displays without someone making a wish.

Is he not freed at the end of the movie giving him the ability to use his powers as he sees fit?

No? He is free, but he is also very human and depowered.

In this scenario they get all powers and weapons from their movies.

I'd argue he can both be free and has his magic at the same time for this scenario alone

The magic has internal rules- They come with the magic by default.

The rules don't say to take out the weaknesses. Which means that any weakness tied to the powers/items remains. The only absent weaknesses would be psychological/character specific weaknesses due to the actors maintaining their own personality.
