A while ago, sci-fi/apocalypse fans were hype about the possibility of an I Am Legend sequel with Will Smith reprising his role alongside (the wildly attractive) Michael B. Jordan. (Be still my beating heart!) Since then, things have been rather quiet with people instead speculating about Jordan’s mystery vampire flick with Ryan Coogler. Now, thanks to a People interview, Michael B. Jordan finally confirmed that I Am Legend 2 is indeed happening with Will Smith with the script currently in progress.
“We’re still working on the script and getting that up to par,” Jordan revealed. “It doesn’t have a release date or anything like that. I’m not sure exactly where we’re going to be filming that one, but I’m really excited to get in front of the camera with him. Being somebody that I’ve looked up to for a really long time, to be able to work with Will is something I’m really looking forward to. I’m really excited.”
This is super exciting news, indeed. Jordan, like many other young Black actors today, look up to Will Smith as a legend and inspiration. Now, he gets to work alongside him in what will probably be an epic film. For those who are wondering how Smith’s character can possibly be in this movie, the I Am Legend sequel is going with the alternate ending where his character survived. We are ready to return back to this world.
