Will Smith has had a long and successful career as an A-list movie star, and the upcoming sequel I Am Legend 2 could break new ground in his career thanks to the inclusion of Michael B. Jordan. While I Am Legend 2 has been confirmed, there aren’t many details yet about what direction it will take. It’s known that the alternate ending from I Am Legend, which is far more consistent with the original Richard Matheson novel’s ending, will provide the direction for the sequel. As a result, Will Smith’s Robert Neville is poised to return for the sequel.
While the movie is still circling a director, it has been announced that Michael B. Jordan (Creed) would be joining the cast alongside Smith. There are no details available yet about what Jordan’s role will be in the post-apocalyptic world depicted in I Am Legend, but it’s safe to bet that a star of his caliber is slated for a major role. If he is, there is the possibility that the sequel will mark a career first for Will Smith.
