The latest report states that nothing has been made official or signed yet, but Caple Jr. is the suitor Warner Bros. is hoping to bring on board for the film. He and Michael B. Jordan — who will star in the film alongside Will Smith — worked together on the hit boxing film Creed II.
Caple Jr. also directed 2023's Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and 2016's The Land, a crime drama starring Jorge Lendeborg Jr.
A sequel to I Am Legend was announced to be in the works for 2022, but there haven't been many updates since then. Last year, writer Akiva Goldsman opened up about what the film could potentially include, revealing that it could be set decades in the future.
