Released in 2007 and starring Will Smith,I Am Legendcan be considered to be one of the best post-apocalyptic zombie movies of all time. Well, at least in my opinion anyway.
According toaggregate websiteRotten Tomatoes,I Am Legendscored a very modest 68% from both critics and the audience alike. If nothing else, that equal score just shy of 69% (nice) indicates a balanced and well-translated opinion of themovie.

Loosely based on the 1954 novel of the same name from Richard Matheson: “Robert Neville (Will Smith), a brilliant scientist, is a survivor of a man-made plague that transforms humans into bloodthirsty mutants", reads the synopsis ofI Am Legend.

“He wanders alone through New York City, calling out for other possible survivors, and works on finding a cure for the plague using his own immune blood,” it continues. “Neville knows he is badly outnumbered and the odds are against him, and all the while, the infected wait for him to make a mistake that will deliver Neville into their hands.”
News first broke of theI Am Legend sequelearlier in 2023, and thatBlack Pantherstar Micheal B. Jordan will co-star alongside Will Smith, but up until this point we’ve had nothing substantial to go on. That was until now.
At the very end ofI Am Legend, Will Smith’s character, Robert dies. So how would this character return in a sequel, I hear you ask? “You have to be a realI Am Legendbuff to know this, but in the first, theatrical version, my character dies, but on the DVD there was an alternate version of the ending where my character lived,” explained Smith. “We are going with the mythology of the DVD version.”

In respect to Micheal B. Jordan starring alongside Smith, he adds: “I have a call with Michael B. Jordan tomorrow. We’re really close, the script just came in. I can’t tell you anything more, but Michael B. Jordan is in." At this time, we do not know which character Micheal B. Jordan will play.
I Am Legend 2has no release date, but considering that filming hasn’t even begun yet, we will likely be waiting for a few years for its arrival.
