I Am Legend 2
The plot of “I Am Legend 2” is shrouded in mystery, but it is known that the film will pick up from the alternative ending of the first movie, set several decades after the initial outbreak. The setting will primarily be in New York, with visual references to “The Last of Us” for inspiration. The film aims to explore the idea that humanity’s time as the dominant species on Earth has ended, drawing more faithfully from the original source material by Richard Matheson.
Initially conceived as a prequel, the idea of exploring Smith’s character before the mutant outbreak was abandoned as it felt forced. Director Francis Lawrence stated that they had already depicted the last man on Earth, and doing so again wouldn’t be suitable.
As for a trailer for “I Am Legend 2,” there isn’t one available yet, but stay tuned for updates.
