I Am Legend 2 Poster Imagines Michael B. Jordan’s New Character

by

In my humble opinion as a movie enthusiast, the union of Michael B. Jordan and Will Smith on a captivating fan-made poster for ‘I Am Legend’ has sparked a flurry of excitement among fans. Originally released in 2007, this film adaptation of Richard Matheson’s novel follows the gripping tale of Will Smith’s character, Robert Neville, who finds himself as the lone survivor in a New York City overrun by a vampire apocalypse. The movie was a resounding success, and in 2022, it was officially confirmed that a sequel was underway, with original screenwriter Akiva Goldsman at the helm. Recently, Smith himself announced an update on the cast for ‘I Am Legend 2’, revealing that Michael B. Jordan is being considered to share the screen with him.

Currently, Instagram artist diamonddead offers their vision of an I Am Legend 2 poster, depicting Jordan’s potential appearance in the movie. The image showcases Jordan standing prominently against a backdrop of a deserted city, with Smith’s character positioned behind him and a menacing Darkseeker looming over them. The artist also incorporates an enticing tagline for the sequel: “The struggle for a new daybreak has commenced,” alluding to the Darkseekers’ inability to venture out during daylight hours. Take a look at the poster below:

What This Means For I Am Legend 2

How Michael B. Jordan Fits Into The Sequel

It appears that “I Am Legend 2” is still being written as a script, and it hasn’t been officially confirmed or scheduled for production just yet. Both Will Smith and Jordan are currently busy with other projects – Will Smith had a successful film last year titled “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” while Jordan is starring in the critically-acclaimed “Sinners.” These movies seem to be promising for the sequel, but it’s difficult to predict how closely the poster will reflect the actual sequel at this early stage.

It’s been disclosed that some details about “I Am Legend 2” have surfaced. For instance, it’s been confirmed that the sequel will adopt the alternate ending of “I Am Legend,” where Neville survives the attack by the Darkseekers as the official version. Moreover, Will Smith recently shared on REVOLT’s “Drink Champs” podcast that Jordan won’t be portraying his son, contrary to popular speculation. Instead, the actor known for his role in “Sinners” will take on the part of the leader of a new settlement situated in Connecticut.

Our Take On The I Am Legend 2 Poster Art

It Teases The Return Of One Crucial Element

Among the many captivating elements of the movie “I Am Legend,” its unique setting stood out. Although post-apocalyptic films had been made before 2007, the film’s depiction of an abandoned New York City, featuring Neville driving a Mustang through the overgrown city streets, was truly remarkable and a notable feature. As suggested by the poster art above, this distinctive portrayal of a post-apocalyptic Earth may be revisited in the future.

Another intriguing aspect worth noting is the tagline on the poster. In the initial “I Am Legend,” Neville and humanity find themselves in a weakened position, yet the movie concludes with him discovering a cure. This potential cure and the ensuing efforts to vaccinate the vast multitude of Darkseekers could provide an engaging foundation for the sequel, even though it may contradict certain themes from the original novel. There are still many unanswered questions about “I Am Legend 2,” but the poster art will undoubtedly fuel excitement for this upcoming project.
