I’m legend is set in a post-apocalyptic world, following a violent epidemic generated by the genetically modified measles virus, which brought about the collapse of humanity. There is no salvation for those who contract the disease, which affects both humans and animals, inducing a state of uncontrollable anger and an increasingly severe physical collapse.
The protagonist, Robert Neville, appears to be the last survivor and is looking for a cure, studying some small animals that have contracted the disease. Robert is a brilliant military virologist, but he can’t make progress. He is forced to move during the day, when the creatures that once were human beings, and have now become infected out of control, they hide in the shadows, because they fear the sunlight.
Will Smith’s return as Robert is a surprise, as in the first film the protagonist succumbs to allow the cure to spread to a surviving community of human beings. It is not yet known in which time period it will be set I am legend 2so it’s unclear whether it will be a prequel or a sequel.
