Academy Award-nominated actor Will Smith will resurrect his role as scientist Robert Neville, as he has agreed to star in the upcoming I Am Legend prequel.
According to Variety, Warner Bros. the flick starts off as news about a plague-ridden virus begins to spread. Giving audience members a grasp on I Am Legend’s background, the follow-up movie is expected to answer all of the unclear questions brought up in the 2007 box office hit - which reportedly made over $536 million worldwide.
Along with Smith, I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence has also signed on for the prequel. While a script is currently in the works, no release date has been announced as of yet.
The prequel will follow Neville in the last days before and after the man-made virus kills/mutates New York City. A sequel was considered, but obviously wouldn’t have been possible without starting over with a completely new lead character/actor.
Look out for more on this later
