5. Batman V Superman (I Am Legend)
Will Smith starred in the 2007 movie I Am Legend – a post-apocalyptic zombie movie based on Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel of the same name. It saw Smith’s Robert Neville living alone in New York – unaware of other human survivors – after an outbreak of a man-made virus turned the population into creatures of the night.
In one scene, a billboard can be seen advertising a Batman v Superman movie – something I Am Legend producer Akiva Goldsman was said to be involved in at the time. For a while after the movie, it seemed as if it wasn’t going to happen (the billboard suggests a 2010 release), but now we know it actually is happening in 2016, giving this little message some real retrospective meaning.
