For the first time, two cinema legends are collaborating on a sequel to a box office smash. I Am Legend is getting a sequel, according to Deadline, with Will Smith returning. This time, he’ll be joined by none other than Michael B. Jordan.

I Am Legend is the most recent adaptation of Richard Matheson’s novel of the same name, following The Last Man on Earth (1964) and Omega Man (1971). Smith took up the role of Robert Neville, the sole human in New York City who has survived a terrible epidemic caused by a cancer-curing medicine that has transformed the rest of the populace into vampier-like creatures known as the Darkseekers.

Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman, who was responsible for developing the original film from Matheson’s 1954 novel, will join Smith. Under the Outlier Society production name, Goldsman will write the sequel and produce it alongside Elizabeth Raposo and Jordan. Smith will produce alongside Jon Mone through his Westbrook Studios. The original picture, which starring Alice Braga, Charlie Tahan, and Sally Richardson-Whitfield, was released in 2007 and grossed $585.4 million worldwide.

The theatrical version of I Am Legend has Will Smith’s character sacrifice himself and take many of the creatures with him in an explosion while providing a distraction for his fellow survivors, Anna and Ethan, to escape with a sample of his new treatment. This conclusion wouldn’t work in the next Jordan sequel unless we only saw Smith in flashbacks. Neville learns that the vampire-like monsters are assaulting his home because the creatures’ leader is the significant other of the newest “test subject” that Neville had kidnapped in order to attempt to discover a cure in an alternate ending.
