by

Legendary actor and Academy Award winner, [Actor’s Name], has at last disclosed some crucial aspects regarding one of the hotly anticipated sequels in the action-thriller genre, titled “I Am Legend 2”. Directed by Steven Caple Jr., who has previously worked on “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” and “Creed II”, this follow-up will see Michael B. Jordan teaming up with Smith in a post-apocalyptic setting. Though specifics about Jordan’s character have been largely under wraps, Smith has now unveiled how the “Creed” and Marvel Cinematic Universe star will be incorporated into the narrative.

In his latest interview on the REVOLT’s Drink Champs podcast, Will Smith disclosed that Michael B. Jordan will feature in the upcoming sequel of ‘I Am Legend’. Instead of portraying a vampiric mutant as he does in Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’, Jordan will appear as another survivor, specifically the leader of a settlement in Connecticut. This contradicts speculations that Jordan would play an older version of Will Smith’s character Dr. Robert Neville’s son. Additionally, Smith shared some behind-the-scenes details about how ‘I Am Legend 2’ evolved into a sequel instead of a prequel.

instead of the prequel, let’s develop a fresh version based on an alternate ending where your character survives and Michael B. Jordan’s character leads a new settlement in Connecticut. It’s important to note that this new settlement is not directly connected to your character’s family lineage.

How Will ‘I Am Legend 2’ Bring Back Will Smith’s Character?

Besides Michael B. Jordan’s part in the upcoming film “I Am Legend 2”, one of the most intriguing questions revolves around how the action sequel plans to resurrect Will Smith’s character, who appeared to perish at the end of the initial movie. Smith has confirmed our suspicions that “I Am Legend 2” will opt for the alternate ending (where he survives) as the official storyline to revive Robert Neville for another round of terror. Previously, screenwriter Akiva Goldsman has hinted at this decision…

We’re creating a continuation based on the original version with an alternative ending. This is the scenario where Will survives, but unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse for mankind.

In its original release, the climax of the movie “I Am Legend” sparked much debate due to its significant departure from Richard Matheson’s original work. This deviation led to Will Smith’s character sacrificing himself for the survival of other characters. The film concluded on an optimistic note, hinting at a possible cure in the future. However, it seems that the events portrayed might be reversed in “I Am Legend 2”, bringing Smith and Jordan together on screen again.

In the movie titled “I Am Legend“, directed by Francis Lawrence and written by Akiva Goldsman and Mark Protosevich, based on Richard Matheson’s book of the same name, Will Smith portrays a solitary figure in a post-apocalyptic New York City. His existence is endangered by menacing mutants. This action-horror film was a significant box office hit and garnered favorable reviews from critics due to its convincing representation of an abandoned New York City and a compelling performance by Smith. A sequel has been in development since 2008, and it seems that we might be seeing it come to fruition sooner rather than later.
