I Am Legend changed the themes of the original book by removing Robert Neville's ending. Now, I Am Legend 2 risks making this problem even worse.
The I Am Legend movie significantly altered the central themes of the original book, and now I Am Legend 2 risks taking these changes even further. Written by Richard Matheson in the 1950s, the I Am Legend book centered on the idea that protagonist Robert Neville was the very last uninfected human on Earth. This was contradicted in the movie by the arrival of humans that had not been turned into Darkseekers, and the ultimate reveal that there was a settlement of uninfected people in Vermont.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Writer and producer Akiva Goldsman has revealed that I Am Legend 2 is happening and will follow the first film's alternate ending, in which Will Smith's Robert Neville discovered that the I Am Legend Darkseekers were capable of things like love and community.
This was somewhat redefined in the film's official ending, where Smith's character gave his life to ensure a cure reached those who needed it. However, in the alternate ending in which he lived, Robert Neville diverged entirely from the purpose of his character in the I Am Legend book. Since I Am Legend 2 is continuing from the latter, it risks losing the original point even further.
Why I Am Legend 2 Will Forget The Book's Main Point Goldsman claims that the sequel, which will follow the I Am Legend alternate ending, will align better with the original book. However, if it continues down the path established in the I Am Legend movie, the adaptation will still differ in all the ways that matter.
This divergence from the book is further supported by the reveal that actor Michael B. Jordan will join the cast for I Am Legend 2. The character he will be playing has been kept tightly under wraps. Still, prevalent theories make him Robert Neville's son - who could have been born and grown up during the time gap - or an uninfected member of the Vermont community.
