In 2007, I Am Legend, a Will Smith starrer had been released in the US and worldwide. In this movie, the story was set in a post-apocalyptic world, where a virus has infected almost 99% of the planet’s population. It has either killed the humans or it has turned those who have been alive into mutants with vampire-like qualities. In the middle of all this, the last man on the earth, played by Will Smith in the role of virologist Robert Neville, faces challenges to escape these monsters and survive with a dog.
It must be noted that the post-apocalyptic movie (directed by Francis Lawrence) was a big hit in both the US and worldwide, and at the same time, it had been noted for Will’s memorable performance as Dr. Robert in the film. The movie’s original story has been based upon a novel which was published in 1954 and was titled I Am Legend, authored by Richard Matheson. The movie was also seen as one of the best adaptations which were based on a post-apocalyptic horror novel. Now, there is a new update for the fans of I Am Legend, which has been released recently and it is nothing less than a surprise.

After about 15 years, it has now been made official by the Warner Bros. that I Am Legend 2 is now going to return as the sequel to 2007’s I Am Legend.

I Am Legend 2 Release Date & Story
All the fans who have been waiting for a sequel to the 2007 Will Smith led sci-fi horror hit, I Am Legend, are in for a big surprise. As per the recent announcements, it has now been made clear that the Warner Bros. backed I Am Legend 2 is now gearing with another return but this time with many twists. Will has also mentioned in an interview that the movie was going to be left alone by him, as he is also popular for not starring in his movie’s sequels, but this time the plan had changed for him.
Will said it was because of another cast member, Michael B. Jordan, who had been a part of the creation of the new idea that the movie is using for its second part. This is why Will decided to give the sequel story another try and now he is returning as the main character in the upcoming I Am Legend 2. In the movie, the story is set in the post-apocalyptic New York City, where the last man on the planet Earth, Dr. Neville is trying to survive. This has been a result of a deadly virus which had become viral after it was originally planned to be a cure for cancer.
I Am Legend 2 Release Date & Plot
With Michael B. Jordan helping the production of the upcoming I Am Legend 2, Will Smith has finally agreed to be a part of the movie’s second part. Although, it is shocking for some of the fans as the original character of Will Smith had been killed off at the end of the 2007 post-apocalyptic horror hit. But it is now expected that the new installment, I Am Legend 2, is going to return with a twist in the story which will reprise the role of Will Smith again. This has not been a surprise as in 2007, the movie’s success had been because of Will’s performances.
This means I Am Legend 2 is not going to pick up after the ending of the original 2007 sci-fi thriller hit, I Am Legend. Instead, this movie is going to continue after an alternate ending of the 2007’s I Am Legend, in which the character of Robert Neville is able to survive. In this alternate ending, Neville realizes that becoming a vampire is the next evolutionary step and he is going to be killed by them all, as he has murdered so many of them. This is only because they find him as a legendary figure as the humans used to see vampires earlier. Thus, after letting go of the female “darkseeker”, Neville goes back to Vermont with Anna and Ethan to find a human colony.
I Am Legend 2 Release Date, Cast & Other Updates
In the upcoming I Am Legend 2, the expected cast members are going to include: Will Smith (playing Robert Neville), Michael B. Jordan and Alice Braga.
