A fake “I Am Legend 2” trailer generated by artificial intelligence left fans of the film starring Will Smith disappointed, as it was not a real sequel to the 2007 movie.
Images of actors Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan were used in an AI-generated fake trailer for the supposed sequel “I Am Legend 2.” Fans were disappointed by the video, which quickly went viral on social media.
Despite the initial excitement, many fans were frustrated when they discovered that the trailer had been generated using artificial intelligence.
“At minute 1:26, there’s a scene from ‘I, Robot’ where his car gets flipped by robots. Nice try!”, noted one fan. “The parts with Michael B. Jordan are from the movie ‘Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse’,” pointed out another.
Rumors about a sequel to the sci-fi action film, which grossed $585.4 million at the time, have been circulating on social media since 2022.
The movie would follow the story of scientist Robert Neville, played by Will Smith, as he navigates a post-apocalyptic New York alongside his dog.
In the theatrical version, Smith’s character dies at the end, but in the DVD version, he survives. “I Am Legend 2” would follow this alternative storyline, as confirmed by Will Smith in 2023.
Actor Michael B. Jordan has been confirmed in the cast. At the time, he expressed his excitement about working with Smith.
“Will is someone I have admired for a long time, so being able to act alongside him is something I’m really looking forward to. I’m truly excited.” There is no official release date for “I Am Legend 2” yet.
