Will Smith Probably Not Appearing In 'I Am Legend 2'

Warner Brothers has been working with producer Akiva Goldsman since the early part of 2012 on developing an 'I Am Legend' sequel. The 2007 film, yet another interpretation of Richard Matheson's phenomenal story, starred Will Smith as, ostensibly, the last man on Earth; spending most days battling those former citizens of the planet who are now mutated monsters. It seemed likely the studio would again enlist Smith's services for the sequel, but that presumption now looks to be unfounded. In a recent interview with the BBC, Smith expressed his feelings about the sequel. He noted that not only is he not involved with it at this time, but he would also "probably not" be in it at all. He indicated a desire to avoid becoming "the sequel guy."

So...you don't want to be the sequel guy? So I guess 'Bad Boys II,' 'Men in Black II,' and 'Men in Black III' are all, what, creative re-imaginings? This aversion to followups bodes ill for rumored projects like 'Hancock 2,' 'Bad Boys 3,' 'I, Robot 2,' and the 'Independence Day' sequel ('Labor Day?'). I will say that I appreciate him being a little more discerning about the projects he takes on, but mostly because almost all of those proposed sequels to his previous films sound like terrible ideas. Yes, even 'Bad Boys 3.' I think 'I Am (Still) Legend' would have been the most ill-advised of the bunch. If we continue along the line of reasoning that he is no longer the last person on Earth, the hook of the first film would be entirely lost. It's just too bad they rejected my spec script for 'Bagger Vance: The Legend Continues.'

What do you guys think? Would you see an 'I Am Legend' sequel without Will Smith? Would you see one with him?

Well, they could just do a follow-up to the alternative ending of "I am Legend" which actually made more sense to me.

Isn't Will Smith in a upcoming sci-Fi movie with M. Night?

Comment by john razzell on June 16, 2012 at 9:21am

um how would they bring him back he died, was totally blown apart followed by text coming up telling us he was in fact dead. how do you bring him back for a sequel after that?

They need to use to alternate ending.   Since the ending used  threw all of the logic from the movie out the window.. for a big bang.

Yes, Yes you are.  He is the most successful actor in hollywood, you dont get there by sucking.

Comment by Dilster3000 on June 15, 2012 at 10:15am

He dies in the end of the film, you can't do much with a dead character.

Bad Boys 3 would be AWESOME! and no I don't wanna see I Am Legend 2 if it does not have will smith in it.

Comment by Omar R. on June 15, 2012 at 9:10am

Am I the only person who thinks Will Smith sucks as an actor?

Comment by eathearty on June 15, 2012 at 4:19am

Comment by Nigel on June 15, 2012 at 2:11am

Why is this an issue, since his character died at the end of "I Am Legend"?
