It's been almost two decades since I Am Legend hit theaters –. and I Am Legend 2 is now on the way! A follow-up to one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best zombie movies was announced back in 2022. Things have been a bit quiet since then, but we do know that Smith will be returning as survivalist and researcher Dr Robert Neville, joined by none other than Michael B. Jordaඣn.

I Am Legend is based on the novel of the same name by the late Richard Matheson,, hit theaters in 2007 and grossed over half a billion at the global box office. The dystopian thriller follows Smith as a lone survivor living in an abandoned city with his dog. The zombies only come out at night, or hang out in the dark, so Neville spends most of his time trying♛ to find a cure for the viral outbreak that destroyed the world.

Smith's return to the role may seem a little confusing, given that he dies at the end of the original film. We don't know exactly how returning director Francis Lawrence plans to bring Robert back from the dead, and because we don't have a synopsis just yet...it's quite possible that the film could end up being a prequel. Smith has hinted at some pretty important plot details and the movie’🏅s setting that lend some credence to this theory.

Scroll on down for everything we know so far about the release date, cast list, plot details, for one of the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming horror movies.

I Am Legend 2 release date speculation

澳洲幸运5开奖号🐽码历史查询:I Am Legend 2 was announced b🦹ack in March 2022 after being teased for several years. Just like the original mov♉ie, Warner Bros. is behind the sequel.

Howಞever, the film is still in the very early pre-production phase, and the script is still unfinished. With filming not even started yet, it is hard to predict when 𒅌the sequel will hit screens. However, when cameras roll, an exact date may be closer in sight – so keep an eye on this page for news on that.

I Am Legend 2 cast

Will Smith is reprising his role, Dr. Robert Neville, from the 2007 movie. Although the scientist seemingly died at the end of the l🔯ast film, the team is deciding to use the film’s alternate ending where he survives.

Weꦓ also know that Sinners star Michael B. Jordan will star alongside Smith. When Jordan’s casting was first confirmed back in 2023, the star told , "I&rsqu🌠o;m really excited to get in front of the camera with [Smith]. Being somebody that I’ve looked up to for a really long time… I’m really excited."

However, it has still not been confirmed exactly who Jordan will be playing, but what we do know is that Smith and 🌸Jordan will not portray a father-son duo. In an interview with the Drink Champs podcast, Smith said, "Michael B. Jor൲dan&rsq♈uo;s character currently is the head of a new settlement... He’s not my son."

As for other returning cast members, Alice Braga, who plays fe♐llow survivor and Neville's companion of sorts, Anna, has shared her interest in joining the project. The star told that she was "super♒ surprised" to hear a sequel was in the works, adding, "I was almost jumping on the phone and saying, 'Can I please be in it?'" Braga's casting is yet to be confirmed.

That’s all we know a🎃bout the I Am Lᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚegend 2 cast so far. The cast list is currently as follows:

• Will Smith as Dr. Robert Neville
• Michael B. Jordan -as an unnamed settlement head

podcast, saying that they were originally going to make a prequel. But I Am Legend screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, who is returning to pen the sequel’s suggested script, suggested that they make a follow-up to the first movie’s alternate 🌃ending. "[Akiva Goldsman] was like, but wait, what if we make a new version from the alternate ending, where your character is still alive and you know," said Smith.

I Amꩵ Legend follows Smith’s scientist and his dog living in a city taken over by zombie-like creatures called Darkseekers. The movie follows Neville’s research on the zombies in a b♍id to find a cure. But his trials are futile, as in the end, Neville’s laboratory is infiltrated by the zombies. In order to protect his new friend Anna and her child, Neville sacrifices himself and blows up himself and the monsters. After, Anna takes his cure to a nearby research facility.

However, when the movie was released digitally, it included an alternate ending which viewers could choose to watch instead of what was shown in theaters. The alternate final scene sees Neville face up to the lead zombie called Alpha. But rather than killing him, Alpha instead takes back the female zombie that Neville was conductꦅing his research ꦉon. The zombies then turn around and leave, making Neville wonder if he is really the monster. Finally, Neville abandons his lab and travels with Anna and her son Ethan in search of other survivors.

With the sequel fol🌠lowing on from the alternate ending, that means Nevill🐼e was alive and well the last time we saw him. However, with the scientist realizing that the zombies can feel some kind of emotion and empathy, leading them to raid Neville’s facility to save one of their own, we wonder how that might affect Neville’s view of the creatures in the new movie.

Warner Bros. is yet to release an official synopsis of the sequel. However, back in 2023, writer Akiva Goldsman revealed to that I Am Legend 2 will "start a few decades later than the first." As for styling, Goldsman admitted that he is obseꦰssed with The Last ofꦡ Us, "where we ꩲsee the world just post-apocalypse but also after a 20-30-year lapse." So expect some overgrown city landscapes.

As for the setting, in the same interview, the writer confirmed that the second installment will take place in New York City, USA, just as the first movie did. "I don't know if [the Darkseekers will] climb up to the Empire State Building, but the possibilities are endless." However, there will be some movement in the movie as Smith may have let slip that the fꦏilm will par💖tly take place in Connecticut too, as that is where Michael B Jordan’s character’s settlement is located.

Is there an I Am Legend 2 trailer yet?

With🧜 the movie still in the early developmental phase, we cannot guess when filming w♏ill start. This means that a trailer is well out of sight, for now.
