Goldsman confirmed the film would begin decades later from the devastating outbreak that turned inhabitants into monsters.
<h2>I Am Legend 2 will track back to the source material </h2>
In February 2023, Akiva Goldsman told Deadline that I Am Legend 2 will follow the original Matheson book and the alternative ending depicted in it. &#8220;What Matheson was talking about was that man&#8217;s time on the planet as the dominant species had come to an end,&#8221; he explained. According to him, this would be quite interesting because, through this, they would get the chance to explore new things with Dr. Robert Neville.
