Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan to star in “I Am Legend” sequel

Back in 2007, Will Smith released one of his biggest films, “I Am Legend.” In this project, Will played the role of Dr. Robert Neville, who was creating a cure, to help those who were the victims of a zombie apocalypse, in New York City. Dr. Neville was the only one in the city, until he had to battle zombies, from people who had previously died, due to a virus. The film was based on Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel.

Smith’s character went on to die, while fighting these zombies, in an explosion. A sequel is still on the way though, as both Smith and Michael B. Jordan, will be starring in it, according to Deadline.

As of now, there is no director, for I Am Legend 2. Francis Lawrence was the director for the first film. Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo are serving as producers, though. Smith and Westbrook Studios Co-President/Head of Motion Pictures Jon Mone will produce as well. There is no set release date at the moment, though.

Following the announcement of this I Am Legend sequel, Smith went on to post a photo of an apparent scene from the upcoming film, to his Instagram feed. Just like the first I Am Legend, the scene displays a deserted New York City.
