I Am Legend followed Robert Neville, a virologist immune to a virus that wiped out the world. We follow Neville as he attempts to survive in the isolated New York City, fight to make a cure, and hold his own against nocturnal mutants. It was the third feature film adaptation of Richard Matheson’s novel following 1964’s The Last Man on Earth and 1971’s The Omega Man. It went on to gross $585.4 million worldwide.

Will Smith is fresh off being Oscar-nominated for Best Actor and Best Picture for King Richard and just won Best Actor at the SAG Awards and NAACP Image Awards.
