Michael B. Jordan Talks Black Panther

 

Come 2018, Michael B. Jordan will make it three for three on Ryan Coogler collaborations, adding Black Panther to a résumé that already boasts the excellent Creed and Fruitvale Station. As the actor reveals in a post-SDCC interview reuniting with Coogler was ostensibly a no-brainer, even if Jordan’s last foray into the genre proved largely forgettable.

When pressed about his feelings of playing the lead villain in Black Panther Jordan revealed that it’s always something he wanted to do to allow him to play something completely different than anything he’s done before. That’s a refreshing assessment from the actor, and you can see his full response via the embedded video below. 


Rubbing shoulders with Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 and Ant Man and the Wasp on the 2018 slate, Black Panther is set to land on July 6, 2018. Production on Ryan Coogler’s origin story is expected to begin in the early stages of 2017
