According to Variety, an I Am Legend sequel is in the works, with Oscar nominee Will Smith (King Richard) and Emmy nominee Michael B. Jordan (Black Panther) set to star in and produce the film for Warner Bros. Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind), who adapted I Am Legend from Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel in 2007, will write the screenplay for the sequel.
