Creed star Michael B. Jordan doesn’t have to wait long to recreate magic with recent and past collaborator – Ryan Coogler.
It has been confirmed that Jordan will be joining the cast of Black Panther – starring Chadwick Boseman in the title role. Oscar-winner Luptia Nyong’o is currently in talks to be his co-star.
The residue from #OscarsSoWhite is still sifting through the air – following the Academy Awards ceremony that was held on February 28 and hosted by comedian Chris Rock.
The issue of diversity became a bigger and louder protest after this year’s nominations featured an all-white roster of talents – despite the strong performances from black actors, including Idris Elba (Beasts of No Nation), and Michael B. Jordan (Creed).
Ryan Coogler is now in the enviable position of being one of the most sought after directors in Hollywood.
Creed is the film that is dominating social media, as users who made the trek to the theaters this holiday weekend have nothing but awesome things to report.
