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.
