I Am Legend 2 is in the works, and audiences may find that the zombies, or Darkseekers as they’re called in the film, will look completely different than in Francis Lawrence’s first film. Director Akiva Goldsman has confirmed that the sequel will see the return of Will Smith as the protagonist Robert Neville, with actor Michael B. Jordan joining the cast in an undisclosed role.
