New Theory Suggests a Major Faceoff Between Michael B. Jordan and Will Smith in &#8216;I Am Legend 2&#8217;

There are very few things that can top up the exhilarating experience of
watching I Am Legend for the first time in theaters. After the Oscar slap gate,
Will Smith and his projects almost mirror characters in a post-apocalyptic
world. Despite the scrutiny, one project that has managed to hype up everyone is
I Am Legend sequel. However, Will Smith is not the only force driving its star
power. I Am Legend 2 also stars Michael B. Jordan.

Owing to the movie being originally based on books, fans have many theories
about what the sequel is going to be like. One theory, in particular, that
points to Michael B. Jordan being a possible antagonist in the sequel is gaining
momentum.


ARE MICHAEL B. JORDAN AND WILL SMITH ENEMIES IN I AM LEGEND 2?

In the first movie, as the world got affected by vampire-like creatures called
Darkseekers, Will Smith became the only remaining pure human. This explained why
the movie was titled I Am Legend. And if the alternate ending is followed and
Smith being the only human left is true, then it would only be possible for
Michael B. Jordan to play a darkseeker. However, it is too early to tell what
parts of the sequel will align with the original source and the alternate
ending. Jordan, who has amassed a huge following through his work in Black
Panther and Creed movies, has generated more hype for the movie. And if he drops
a hint about playing an antagonist, it would result in a packed theater for
sure.

Will Smith played Robert Neville, who ended up a minority in a world
predominantly populated by humans. And if Michael B. Jordan appears opposite to
him as a rival force, it would make up for one of the best faceoffs. However,
this is only a fan theory stemming from Akiva Goldsman’s statement to Deadline
about the sequel majorly being inspired by the book.


WHEN IS I AM LEGEND 2 RELEASING?

Michael B. Jordan has just completed a successful run with Black Panther and
Creed while Will Smith recently released the emotionally driven Emancipation.
The Emancipation actor is reportedly busy with the filming of another
anticipated sequel in the form of Bad Boys 4.

However, I Am Legend 2, which has spent enough days in production, will start
filming sometime soon. Based on the statements made by the creators, the movie
is set for a summer 2025 release date.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
