In exciting news for fans of the post-apocalyptic blockbuster, Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan have officially confirmed the long-awaited sequel to I Am Legend. The Hollywood superstars revealed their involvement in the project during their recent public appearances.

Last year, rumors about Smith and Jordan discussing a concept for I Am Legend 2 started circulating. Smith confirmed these rumors to Entertainment Tonight in March 2022, crediting Jordan for being a part of the creation of the idea. He revealed that he initially had no plans to revisit the 2007 film until hearing the vision for a sequel.

The original film's director, Francis Lawrence, had previously mentioned plans for a follow-up or prequel to I Am Legend. However, discussions had stalled as the production team pursued other opportunities. But things have taken a turn now.

During his appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Smith revealed new details about the production. He announced that the script for I Am Legend 2 is now complete, bringing the project one step closer to reality. Smith also unveiled a significant concept: the sequel will follow the mythology of the DVD version, where his character survives instead of dying in the theatrical release.

Variety reports that Smith and Jordan will not only star in the film but also serve as co-producers, further elevating the excitement surrounding the project. The original I Am Legend film, which premiered 16 years ago, was a massive success, grossing an impressive $585.4 million worldwide at the box office.

Will Smith has been keeping himself busy with his recent acting role in the Apple TV+ film, Emancipation. Meanwhile, Michael B. Jordan made his directorial debut in the highly successful Creed franchise, which made history as the biggest opening sports movie ever, raking in $58.6 million.
