I Am Legend 2 (2025) is the long-awaited sequel to the post-apocalyptic classic, bringing back Will Smith as Dr. Robert Neville in a surprising twist. The film, set years after the original, explores a world where the human race is still teetering on the brink of extinction due to the vampiric Darkseekers. This time, Michael B. Jordan joins the cast as a new survivor who crosses paths with Neville, revealing that there’s more to humanity’s survival than previously thought.

The trailer teases intense action sequences, with Neville and Jordan’s character navigating crumbling cities overrun by Darkseekers, while also confronting the consequences of Neville’s experiments. The sequel delves deeper into the origins of the virus, hinting at a new hope, but also the terrifying evolution of the infected creatures.

Warner Bros. began developing I Am Legend in 1994, and various actors and directors were attached to the project, though production was delayed due to budgetary concerns related to the script. Production began in 2006 in New York City, filming mainly on location in the city, including a $5 million scenetthe Brooklyn Bridge.

I Am Legend was released on December 14, 2007, in the United States and Canada, and opened to the largest-ever box office (not adjusted for inflation) for a non-Christmas film released in the U.S. in December, and was the seventh-highest grossing film of 2007, earning $256 million domestically and $329 million internationally, for a total of $585 million. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with Smith’s performance being singled out for praise; criticism focused on its divergences from the novel, particularly the ending.

The plot follows the aftermath of the viral outbreak that turned the majority of the human population into vampire-like creatures known as “Darkseekers.” Years have passed since Neville’s last encounter with these creatures, and humanity’s struggle for survival has intensified. While society has mostly crumbled, small groups of survivors have managed to stay alive, building safe havens and seeking a cure for the virus that caused the devastation.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joins the cast as a new character, a hardened and resourceful survivor leading one of the last remaining human enclaves. His character and Neville form an uneasy alliance as they attempt to work together in the hopes of finding a permanent cure for the virus. However, the Darkseekers have evolved, becoming more intelligent and organized, posing an even greater threat to humanity’s survival.
