There’s been speculation that I Am Legend 2 could be in the works, with rumors pointing to none other than Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan as the film’s dual leads. Following the massive success of the original 2007 film, which starred Smith as scientist Robert Neville in a dystopian world ravaged by a virus, this sequel is generating buzz about how it will expand on the story.
One of the biggest questions surrounding a sequel is how Will Smith’s character, Neville, could return after the original’s climactic ending. Whispers from insiders suggest that the sequel might take inspiration from the alternate ending of the first film, where Neville survives instead of sacrificing himself. This creative approach opens the door for exploring Neville’s ongoing journey in a world still plagued by the Darkseekers.
Michael B. Jordan, whose recent performances in Creed and Black Panther cemented his place as one of Hollywood’s most versatile stars, is rumored to play a key role in this sequel. Speculation suggests he will portray a young survivor who teams up with Neville to uncover a hidden sanctuary for humanity’s last hope.
