I Am Legend 2 is still in the works and the word on the street is it might have found its director. More on the story below.
I Am Legend 2 has been in the works for a good few years now and we’ve had a somewhat steady flow of news. We already know Will Smith is returning and will be joined by Michael B. Jordan and Akiva Goldsman is penning the script for the long overdue sequel.
Deadline now reports that Steven Caple Jr. is in talks with Warner Bros to helm the sequel. Deadline emphasises that it’s still early days, but there must be something to their story if they felt confident enough to run it.
Caple Jr. previously directed Creed II as well as Transformers: Rise of the Beast and if he does sign on to direct I Am Legend 2, it would be his second collaboration with Michael B. Jordan. Previously, it was thought Francis Lawrence, who directed the first film, might return for I Am Legend 2, but Deadline’s reporting now implies he’s out of the picture.
Goldsman visited Comic-Con this past weekend and teased that he had cracked the second draft of the script for the sequel. I Am Legend 2 will utilise the first film’s alternative ending, which sees Smith’s Robert Neville survive.
“The world returns in a way that is kind of spectacular – an exciting playground for all of us – not your father’s I Am Legend,” the writer said.
We’re not entirely sure what that means, but we’re excited to find out. More on I Am Legend 2 as we hear it.
