It came as quite a surprise to big-budget movie lovers when it was initially announced that there would be a sequel to the film I Am Legend, based on the novel by Robert Matheson.

I Am Legend 2 Star and Producer Offers an Update on the Film
When asked about the current status of the I Am Legend sequel, and if it's made any progress since being announced, star and producer Michael B. Jordan tells People, "We're still working on the script and getting that up to par. It doesn't have a release date or anything like that. I'm not sure exactly where we're going to be filming that one, but I'm really excited to get in front of the camera with him." The popular Black Panther star then goes on to explain, "[With Will Smith] being somebody that I've looked up to for a long time, to be able to work with Will is something I'm really looking forward to. I'm really excited."
The official summary of the first I Am Legend: Robert Neville, a scientist, is a survivor of a man-made plague that transforms humans into mutants; he wanders 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; the infected wait for him to make a mistake that will deliver Neville into their hands.
When the film is eventually released, do you think audiences will still be invested in a sequel to I Am Legend?
