Michael B. Jordan and Will Smith unite in an impressive fan-made I Am Legend 2 poster. Released in 2007, the first I Am Legend, which is based on the novel of the same name by Richard Matheson, followed Smith's Robert Neville, the last survivor in New York City after the world falls to a vampire apocalypse. The film was a hit, and it was confirmed in 2022 that a sequel was in the works from original screenwriter Akiva Goldsman. Later, Smith shared an I Am Legend 2 cast update, revealing that Michael B. Jordan is being eyed to costar.
