Warner Bros. is finally pushing ahead with ‘I Am Legend 2’, the sequel to the 2007 post-apocalyptic thriller, with Will Smith reprising his role. The original film, directed by Francis Lawrence, was a critical and commercial success, based on Richard Matheson’s classic novel. Smith’s return is surprising given the fate of his character, Robert Neville, in the first movie.
Despite initial talk of a prequel, the sequel was greenlit, with Michael B. Jordan also joining the cast. While details are scarce, original cast member Alice Braga has expressed interest in returning. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman is back on board to pen the script, indicating progress.
Though still in pre-production, Smith’s recent updates suggest movement, with discussions underway with Jordan. Fans eagerly await further developments as ‘I Am Legend 2’ slowly comes to fruition.
Smith’s enthusiasm for the lore of the original film, previously unseen except on home video versions, adds to the anticipation. His mention of talks with Jordan hints at a dynamic duo at the helm, promising a fresh take on the franchise.
With Smith and Jordan leading the cast, supported by the potential return of Braga, ‘I Am Legend 2’ holds promise. As the sequel inches closer to reality after years in development limbo, audiences await eagerly to revisit the haunting world of Neville’s post-apocalyptic struggles.
