I Am Legend 2 Will Ignore First Movie's Ending, Confirms Producer


y Aeron Mer EclarinalPosted: February 15, 2023



I Am Legend 2 is set to bring back Will Smith's character in an unexpected way since the sequel is confirmed to pick up after the movie's alternate ending.

I Am Legend centered around Smith's Robert Neville as the last man on Earth trying to survive against Darkseekers, vampire-like infected humans who rise every night to wreak havoc.

The movie earned widespread acclaim from fans and critics, but many agreed that its alternate ending was better than the original. I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence even chimed in, saying that he agrees with the audience's sentiments since "it's the more philosophical version of the end."

As the sequel officially received the green light last year, the first surprising plot details emerged online.

I Am Legend 2's First Plot Details Teased
Speaking with Deadline, I Am Legendproducer Akiva Goldsman shared new details about the sequel, confirming that it will "trace back to the original [Richard] Matheson book" while also exploring the ramifications of its alternate ending.

While sharing that I Am Legend 2 will"start a few decades later" after the first movie, Goldsman first explained how the sequel will be different, even using The Last of Us as a reference:



In the alternate ending, Will Smith's Robert Neville didn't die. Instead, he discovered that the infected were sentient when the alpha male Darkseeker was simply trying to recover his mate.

In the end, Neville realizes that he has become a monster in the eyes of the infected, leading to the abandonment of his research in the hope of finding the survivors' colony.



Goldsman shared that this ending will be further explored in the follow-up, which also stars Michael B. Jordan:





Jordan is set to also serve as producer of the sequel alongside Goldsman and Smith.
