But in Hollywood, some ideas remain forever undead \u2013 including the notion of an <em>I Am Legend<\/em> sequel, which has been kicking around in the rumour-mill for a while now. From various reports over the years, it\u2019s thought that a follow-up to Francis Lawrence\u2019s horror-drama would see Will Smith return, possibly joined by Michael B. Jordan. And now we have an idea of who&#8217; might&#8217;ll be shepherding it to the screen.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>According to <em>Collider<\/em>, director Steven Caple Jr. is currently working away at <em>I Am Legend 2<\/em>, which remains in the development phase. Caple Jr. previously directed <em>Creed II<\/em> (which, of course, also starred Jordan) and <em>Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts<\/em>, and is currently readying the launch of Netflix\u2019s <em>Man On Fire<\/em> series, of which he directed the first two episodes. Details on what an <em>I Am Legend<\/em> sequel might involve remain to be seen, but the follow-up would jump off from what is technically the \u2018alternate ending\u2019 of the film, which was actually the ending of Richard Matheson\u2019s novel: with Will Smith\u2019s Dr. Neville recognising that the \u2018Darkseekers\u2019 are a new civilisation who sees <em>him<\/em> as the monster. (In the theatrical ending, Neville blew himself up, along with several of the Darkseekers.)<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>There are few other details for now, but stay tuned for whether this one ever coalesces, and if Smith and Jordan remain attached. For now, time to brainstorm some titles: \u2018We Are Legend\u2019? \u2018They Is Legends\u2019? \u2018Legends R Us\u2019?
