Warner Brothers is gearing up for a sequel to I Am Legend starring Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan. Deadline was first to report the news, revealing that both superstars are also set to serve as producers for the follow-up to the post-apocalyptic 2007 action film, which told the story of a virus causing a global pandemic which wiped out the majority of the planet’s population, leaving Smith’s Robert Neville as the last remaining human in New York City.
