A good news came from the post-apocalyptic movie I Am Legend, which was adapted for the big screen from Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel in 2007 and became one of the most popular roles of the famous actor Will Smith. It was announced that the sequel, about which rumors have been circulating for years, will be shot at the end, and this news excited the fans who were no longer hopeful about the series.
After this news, the first details about the production began to emerge. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that we will once again see Will Smith in the lead role of the sequel.
Smith will be accompanied by Michael B. Jordan in the sequel to I Am Legend
Produced by Warner Bros., the script will be co-written by the first film. It is reported that in the sequel to I Am Legend, written by Akiva Goldsman, Smith will be accompanied by young actor Michael B. Jordan, who became famous with films such as Creed and Black Panther.
Jordan will be involved in the I Am Legend sequel with Elizabeth Raposo through Outlier Society, while Smith will produce with Jon Mone through Westbrook Studios. Westbrook’s Ryan Shimazaki will be involved in the production, while James Lassiter will produce the film. Goldsman, who produced the original I Am Legend, will return to produce with Greg Lessans through Weed Road Pictures.
Smith’s role in the movie is not yet known
On the other hand, what kind of role Will Smith will play in the sequel is currently unknown. As those who watched the movie will know, at the end of the first movie directed by Mark Prorosevich, which grossed more than $585 million worldwide, Smith’s character died while fighting against the creatures that an epidemic had transformed people – or it was shown to us, we don’t know.
In previous years, he told The Hollywood Reporter, “I’m obsessed with trying to put little character dramas in the middle of blockbuster movies. … The thing I’ve had the most success with with this concept so far is I Am Legend,” Smith said. “I Am Legend could easily have been a stage play, right? You know, a one-man show, a man with a dog – you would often think you needed a little more than that for a blockbuster, but to date, this is my biggest opening and my second biggest movie to date.” He emphasized the success of the film.
