I Am Legend 2 producer gives exciting new update for Will Smith starrer at Comic Con

<p>Actor Will Smith, who made headlines for all the wrong reasons this year for his slap incident with Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, is said to make his comeback with his 2007 classic ‘I Am Legend’ sequel. The 53-year-old actor won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his work in 'King Richard’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Smith could probably make a return after a break and resume work to reprise his iconic role as Dr Robert Neville in the sequel to his film 'I Am Legend 2'.There are no official confirmations yet, but a source claims that the actor is going to make a comeback with this film following the Oscar controversy. According to the source, Akiva Goldsman, who adapted Richard Matherson's novel for the first film, will also return for the sequel.</p>

<p>The insider revealed that no script for Will Smith's 'I Am Legend' sequel has been written yet, adding, "The script is being written mentioning his character and as of yet, Will remains attached to the project.&nbsp;The concept is still to be signed off by Warner Brothers, but there has been no indication that Will is off the project."</p>

<p>"Obviously, he is the producer of the film and his production company is in charge while the development continues. The reality is that Will will make a comeback at some point and it will be simply down to which studio will be the one to take a chance on him," the source added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the unversed, Will Smith at the Oscars event stormed the stage in anger and slapped host Chris Rock for a joke he made about Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia. This sparked a debate, and the decision had a significant impact on his personal and professional life. This resulted in Will being barred from all Oscar-related activities for the next ten years. However, his award was not revoked by the Academy.&nbsp;</p>

Will Smith might make a comeback after Oscars debacle with ‘I Am Legend’ sequel

<p>It’s confirmed! Will Smith will be returning for the much-awaited sequel of ‘I Am Legend’. He will not be alone this time as there will be Michael B Jordan for company in the zombie-infested world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The sequel will be written by the original film’s co-writer Akiva Goldsman with Warner Bros as producers. The 2007 film ‘I Am Legend’ was co-written by Goldsman and Mark Protosevich and was directed by Francis Lawrence. The film received a massive response globally.&nbsp;</p>

It’s confirmed! Will Smith will be returning for the much-awaited sequel of ‘I Am Legend’. He will not be alone this time as there will be Michael B Jordan for company in the zombie-infested world. The sequel will be written by the original film’s co-writer Akiva Goldsman with Warner Bros as producers. The 2007 film ‘I Am Legend’ was co-written by Goldsman and Mark Protosevich and was directed by Francis Lawrence. The film received a massive response globally. Interestingly, the original film's ending saw the death of Will Smith’s character, a scientist attempting to find a cure for a plague that has made humanity extinct and turned survivors into monstrous creatures. So we’re not sure how the makers plan to bring back Will Smith in the sequel.
