Will Smith has revealed the original plan for his I Am Legend 2 movie with Michael B. Jordan, and the newer idea sounds so much better. The upcoming movie will again be written by Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the original 2007 movie. I Am Legend was based on the book of the same name by author Richard Matheson and followed Smith’s character, Robert Neville, as the last man living in New York City following the Krippin Virus pandemic. In the movie’s theatrical cut, Neville died in the end, so bringing Smith in to join Jordan in the next I Am Legend movie is a bit complicated.
