I Am Legend 2 will be set several decades after the original movie, which means the most fascinating aspects of the setting will be made even better.
I Am Legend 2 will take I Am Legend's most hauntingly beautiful detail and make it even better. The long-awaited sequel will finally be a reality, with producer and writer Akiva Goldsman confirming that I Am Legend 2 is in the works and will be set several decades after the original. This came with the news that Will Smith would be returning to once again play Robert Neville, which means that the sequel will follow the alternate ending in which the 'last man on earth' survived.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT When I Am Legend hit theaters in 2007, audiences were mesmerized by the ideas the film explored. Though not strictly a zombie apocalypse move, it featured a world that had moved on from the rule of humanity and saw nature reclaim cities like New York in a shockingly short time. This was driven home by Smith's melancholic performance and the idea that his extreme loneliness drove him to stop at nothing to find a cure.
I Am Legend 2 Will Continue The Idea Of Nature Taking Over The alternate ending of I Am Legend saw Robert Neville realize that the Darkseekers don't want to be cured and are capable of connection and society without being 'fixed.' Therefore, I Am Legend 2 should continue to see a world where humanity, as it had been previously, is all but extinct. What's more, Goldsman has teased that the sequel will pick up 20 to 30 years after the first film's ending.
The question of how the world would look if humans were to disappear from it is one that Goldsman has shared a fascination with. When talking about I Am Legend 2, the film writer said, "There’s something beautiful in the question of, as man steps away from being the primary tenant, what happens?" This was precisely what made I Am Legend so remarkable to watch, and the news that it will be a specific focus of the sequel is reassuring.
What I Am Legend 2's Time Jump Means For Will Smith’s Robert Neville Since the original ending of I Am Legend saw Robert Neville sacrifice his life to save the world, the news that the character would be returning to the sequel was confirmation that the alternate ending was the newly established canon.
