Steven Caple Jr. to Direct I Am Legend 2 for Warner Bros.

The sequel is in development with no greenlight or release date.

Overview

  • Caple Jr., who confirmed Monday to Collider that he is developing the project, will direct the follow-up to the 2007 film.
  • Akiva Goldsman returns to write the script, with the sequel treating the first movie’s alternate ending as canon.
  • Will Smith is widely reported to return as Robert Neville, and Michael B. Jordan is attached and in talks to co-star and produce.
  • The project has not been greenlit and has no start or release date, and Caple’s other commitments could affect scheduling.
  • Goldsman has said the story is set decades after the original and will lean closer to Richard Matheson’s novel.
