The official trailer for Creed II: Killmonger vs. Putin debuted Wednesday, shocking everyone by revealing (spoiler alert) that, instead of being buried in the ocean with his ancestors, Erik Killmonger swam to the shore, found a great dermatologist, and got his old army buddy Rambo to retire from being Tango and/or…
Whether you call him Michael “Bae” Jordan, Michael “Jailbait” Jordan or Michael “You remind me of my little brother” Jordan *raises hand*, there’s no denying that since his breakout role in Fruitvale Station, Michael B. Jordan has become one to watch (bonus points if you remember him from nighttime drama Parenthood).…
The last two years have shown Hollywood that diversity in front of and behind the camera pays major dividends, both in quality and box office receipts. No surprise, then, when Warner Bros. launched a new policy aimed at bringing more underrepresented talent into their productions—and they’re tapping one of Hollywood’s…
We love Michael B. Jordan. He’s a dreamy man with a face you wanna squeeze, but also lick. But his dating habits have left a lot to be desired by black women. Michael B. usually canoodles with the likes of Becky and Karen. And many black women are upset, mostly because they think they deserve Michael B. Jordan. We do.
The world of Wakanda inundated this year’s MTV Movie & TV Awards, and we’re not mad about it at all.
As his career shows, Michael B. Jordan has not been one to shy away from complex portrayals of black people. The actor, whose first major break was as Wallace on The Wire, has played Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old black man killed by a Bay Area Rapid Transit officer on New Year’s Day, and Black Panther’s primary villain,…
I first became familiar with actor Michael B. Jordan while he was a cast member on HBO’s The Wire. Wallace. The young kid we loved and rooted for because we just knew he did not belong in the low-rises, selling drugs with the likes of Bodie and Poot while taking care of an abandoned apartment’s worth of young…
Not even 24 hours after making his appearance at the Met Gala, Michael B. Jordan walked into the room I was sitting in with a huge smile on his face, a voice that sounded like it could use a throat lozenge, and a cologne that wasn’t too overwhelming and lingered nicely after he gave me a hug. We were here to discuss…
Liberté, egalité, fraternité (“liberty, equality, fraternity”) is France’s motto, and equality has appropriately emerged as the theme of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, taking place May 8-19 on the French Riviera.
At the very beginning of Black Panther, the audience gets to spend just a little time taking in the magic that is Sterling K. Brown as his character, N’Jobu, plots with Zuri (Denzel Whitaker in the flashbacks) on some sort of scheme.
In the wake of Black Panther’s monster success, Michael B. Jordan has lined up the kind of project that would make any Wakandan proud.
The next time you want to pout and act ungrateful over something trifling, like your server being too slow with the free breadsticks or your roommate leaving her socks on the dang couch again, please remember that you were placed on this earth at the exact same time as one Michael B. Jordan, and that fact alone is…
When tickets for Black Panther went on sale late last month, we here at The Root just knew it was our duty, as the unofficial news source of Wakanda, to be there on the first night. Luckily, our editor-in-chief, Danielle Belton, was able to score tickets so that we could be there to give you our impressions of the…
Newark, N.J., native and finest supervillain to ever grace a film screen (don’t @ me on this) Michael B. Jordan attended a special Black Panther screening for young adults on Tuesday. According to RLS media, the event was planned by Jordan himself and drew hundreds of kids from My Brother’s Keeper, the Boys and Girls…
Ever since Marvel slayed us with the first trailer for Black Panther, folks have been feening to dress up like the citizens of the superhero’s native Wakanda. So, of course, when New York Fashion Week and Black Panther premiere week collided Monday night, there was a presentation inspired by Oscar winner Ruth E. Carter
We all knew that Black Panther was going to be the best thing to hit theaters EVER. But just in case you were worried that it was being overhyped (how dare you), or people are just saying that because it’s a black superhero (yes, but still, how dare you?), it turns out that writer-director Ryan Coogler DELIVERED,…
The red carpet will be awash in blackness Monday night as the gorgeous melanated cast of Marvel’s Black Panther hits the red carpet for the Red Carpet World Premiere.
Michael B. Jordan is a free agent, people!
1. The screen at the 0:00 mark right before the trailer started. I know black screens are standard before a film starts and after it ends, but this black screen was an extra, deeper black. A Maya and Amiri at the Schomburg black. I saw this black and immediately felt compelled to take a shot of Henny. (AND I HATE…
On Instagram Tuesday, Sylvester Stallone confirmed that he will be directing and producing Creed 2, the sequel to the 2015 Ryan Coogler hit Creed, in which Stallone co-starred with actor Michael B. Jordan. Are we really interested in a sequel to Creed that doesn’t involve Ryan Coogler?
