🧬 Plot Summary

Years after the harrowing events of I Am Legend (2007), the world has changed — and so has the legend. I Am Legend 2 picks up in a post-apocalyptic landscape where humanity’s survival teeters on the brink. In this alternate timeline, Dr. Robert Neville survived, living in the shadows of a devastated New York, haunted by the choices he made and the hope he still clings to.

When a young survivor (played by Michael B. Jordan) uncovers part of Neville’s research and a potential cure hidden deep in the ruins of the city, the two are forced into an unlikely alliance. As new mutations of the Darkseekers evolve — faster, smarter, more organized — Neville and his new allies must confront the terrifying truth: the virus is no longer the greatest threat. Humanity is.

Rosario Dawson joins the cast as a hardened resistance leader who has her own secrets and motives for finding Neville. Together, they must face a city teeming with danger and a world where trust is more fragile than ever.
