‘I Am Legend’: Michael B. Jordan To Join Will Smith in Sequel Movie
It’s been over a decade since Will Smith‘s 2007 hit I Am Legend toppled the global box office. Warner Bros. is finally upping the stakes on the property with a new sequel in development.
Per Deadline, Smith is returning for the next chapter as star and producer. He’ll be joined on screen by Black Panther‘s Michael B. Jordan, who will also produce.
Oscar winner and producer Akiva Goldsman, who adapted the Richard Matheson 1954 novel, is also returning to write the follow-up. Plot details at this time remain under lock and key.
The 2007 film saw Smith’s Dr. Robert Neville “Wander alone through New York City, calling out for other possible survivors, and works on finding a cure for the plague using his own immune blood. Neville knows he is badly outnumbered, and the odds are against him, and all the while, the infected wait for him to make a mistake that will deliver Neville into their hands.”
Considering how I Am Legend concluded Neville’s story, it’ll be interesting to see how they approach his return.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
