STEAMY STREAMING: MICHAEL B. JORDAN

BY: Georgia Davis

Michael B. Jordan is one of our favorite leading men. He dominates every role, and his rise to fame has been quick and impressive. While we wait for new projects starring Jordan, we’re taking a trip down memory lane with our favorite roles of his.

CREED/CREED II

Creed is what made us fall in love with Jordan. Under the guidance of Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky, a new fighter emerges. Along with Tessa Thompson as the love interest, both movies added to the allure and appeal of Rocky’s world. Jordan will direct the third film in the franchise. Now that’s a killer!

Creed is available to rent on Amazon. Creed II is available on Amazon Prime. 

BLACK PANTHER

Black Panther proved Jordan is a star. His performance as Killmonger shows that villains don’t have to be one dimensional.

Black Panther is available on Disney+.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

Yes, Jordan was in the famous football TV series. Much to no one’s surprise, he played the good-looking quarterback in the last two seasons.

Friday Night Lights is available on Peacock.

JUST MERCY

In this drama, Jordan plays Civil Rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson, hired to defend a wrongly condemned death row inmate (Jamie Foxx). The powerful film is a must-watch.

Just Mercy is available on HBO Max.

FANTASTIC FOUR

Say what you will about Fantastic Four, but this entertaining remake is made better by Jordan’s presence. He is the perfect Human Torch, and we witness a fun side of him.

Fantastic Four is available on Disney+.

FRUITVALE STATION

In this lesser-known film, Jordan is truly incredible. The film marks the first collaboration between Jordan and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler. Based on actual events, this powerful portrait of intersecting lives is chilling.

Fruitvale Station is available on Netflix.
