Overview
- Steven Caple Jr. confirmed to Collider on Monday, during press for Netflix’s Man on Fire, that he is developing I Am Legend 2 for Warner Bros.
- The project is still in development with no studio greenlight and no announced release date.
- Akiva Goldsman is reported to return as writer and producer, with plans to follow the film’s alternate ending that aligns more closely with Richard Matheson’s novel.
- Will Smith is expected to reprise his role and Michael B. Jordan is reported to be attached and in talks to produce with Smith, though casting has not been formally announced.
- Goldsman has said the story is set decades after the 2007 film, which earned about $585 million worldwide, a track record that sustains interest even as development moves slowly.
