I Am Legend 2 is officially happening at Warner Bros., as Will Smith returns to star as Robert Neville alongside Michael B. Jordan in the new movie.



Warner Bros. is officially making I Am Legend 2 with Will Smith back to star, and he'll be joined by Michael B. Jordan. Originally released in 2007, I Am Legend starred Will Smith as Robert Neville, a brilliant scientist who survives a virus that mutates humans into vampire-like beings. The movie was a huge hit for Warner Bros. over a decade ago as it made $585 million worldwide. This led the studio to continue discussing the possibility of making another installment, even though I Am Legend's original ending controversially included the apparent death of Will Smith's character.

Talks of I Am Legend 2 have been in various stages since 2008, but the door for the sequel appeared to close in 2014. It was instead announced that Warner Bros. was working on a reboot of Richard Matheson's novel. Movement on a new I Am Legend movie went quiet ever since then, but that changed recently when it was discovered that Warner Bros. was developing a new entry in the franchise. It was unclear at the time whether this new film would be a reboot or a sequel to the 2007 film.


Now, it has been announced that I Am Legend 2 is happening with Will Smith returning to star. Deadline shared the news that Smith is back to produce and star in the long-awaited sequel, which will also see Black Panther and Creed's Michael B. Jordan star and produce. It is the first time Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan will work together on a movie. Akiva Goldsman is working on the script for I Am Legend 2 but plot details have not been revealed. There is currently no known deal for a director or a release date set.



It is unclear what stage in development I Am Legend 2 is in, which leaves some doubt as to when audiences will be able to see it. However, the development of the sequel and Will Smith's involvement is a big surprise. It suggests that the sequel will somehow retcon I Am Legend's ending where Neville seemingly kills himself and a group of mutants with a grenade. There is an alternate ending that director Francis Lawrence wanted which showed Will Smith's character survive and leave New York to continue developing a cure. Whether I Am Legend 2 makes that alternate ending canon or comes up with a different way to bring Smith back remains to be seen.

While there are still plenty of work that still needs to be done on I Am Legend 2, the early prospect of seeing Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan share the screen is exciting itself. It will also seemingly re-explore this world more than a decade after the original movie, which could allow the sequel to show what happened to the virus and Darkseekers. I Am Legend 2 could even potentially revisit Akiva Goldsman's previous sequel ideas that included cloning Neville to bring Smith back. In any case, hopefully there is more news soon on what exactly this sequel will be about.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    "All of this lends the game distinctly last-gen look at times, which is compounded by image quality and frame-rate issues."

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
