“We’re still working on the script and getting that up to par,” Jordan told people.com.
“It doesn’t have a release date or anything like that. I’m not sure exactly where we’re going to be filming that one, but I’m really excited to get in front of the camera with him (Will Smith).”
Jordan said that he had looked up to Smith for a long time.
“Being somebody that I’ve looked up to for a really long time, to be able to work with Will is something I’m really looking forward to. I’m really excited,” said the actor, reports variety.com.
Directed by Francis Lawrence, “I Am Legend” starred Smith as virologist Robert Neville, the sole survivor in New York City of a man-made plague that transforms humans into bloodthirsty mutants. His mission to find a cure brings him into contact with other survivors.
Earlier this year, at a film festival, Smith had shared that ‘I Am Legend 2’ would utilise the 2007 movie’s alternate ending in which his character lived.
Meanwhile, Jordan is all set to appear in the new movie from his ‘Fruitvale Station’, ‘Creed’ and ‘Black Panther’ director Ryan Coogler.
