The 2007 release of “I Am Legend” has been loved by audiences, and Warner Bros. announced a few days ago that it will create a sequel to the film. In the sequel, Will Smith will return to the cast. In addition, Michael B. Jordan will also join the starring. The original screenwriter Akiva Goldsman continued to write the script, and all three also served as producers.
The film mainly tells that in 2012, human beings were finally overwhelmed by the virus. Former military virologist Rob Never became the only survivor in New York City because he had natural antibodies in his body and was not infected. He is the only surviving human being in the world. The film is based on Richard Mason’s novel of the same name, and is also the third film adaptation of the book, but the storyline of the film is closer to the second film “The Last Man” adapted from the novel.
Warner’s “sequel plan” in recent years has been controversial. “I Am Legend” filmed a sequel many years later, and people couldn’t help but sweat it. I Am Legend has two different endings. In one version, Rob and Daredevil, played by Smith, perished together, and Annie and her son escaped with the serum. Rob was called a hero after his death and became a legend. In an alternate ending, mother and son Robert and Anne left New York for the survivors base. From the current situation, the sequel will continue the story of the second ending.
