AceShowbiz - Michael B. Jordan has revealed that the script for "I Am Legend 2" is still being written. Despite that, he shares that he is already "really excited" to collaborate with Will Smith on the highly anticipated sequel.

The original "I Am Legend", released in 2007, starred Will Smith as virologist Robert Neville, the lone survivor in a desolate New York City ravaged by a man-made plague that transforms humans into bloodthirsty mutants. The theatrical release ended with Neville's death, but the sequel will utilize the alternate ending in which he lived.

Jordan spoke to PEOPLE about the project, stating, "We're still working on the script and getting that up to par. It doesn't have a release date or anything like that... I'm really excited to get in front of the camera with him. 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."

Smith himself has expressed enthusiasm for the sequel, telling Entertainment Tonight, "It's looking good. We have some really solid ideas. I think Michael and I are going to make it on screen together."

Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the original screenplay, will return to pen the sequel. The film will take place "a few decades" after the events of the first movie, exploring how "the Earth reclaims the world" after humans have retreated. Goldsman has also indicated that the sequel will adhere more closely to the original novel by Richard Matheson.

Jordan and Smith have reportedly spent time together developing the project. While the script is still in progress, Jordan's excitement for the collaboration is evident. "That dude is the truth," he said of Smith. "I would love to do that."

"I Am Legend 2" is expected to showcase advancements in computer graphics since the release of the original film, promising more realistic effects for the menacing Darkseekers. The sequel has no confirmed release date at this time.
