Hardworking man. Michael B. Jordan’s net worth is extraordinary from all the starring roles he had in the past decade. The Creed actor (and now director) earned an impressive amount of money for his roles in two prominent film series: Black Panther and Creed.
Coming in from small roles in The Sopranos and Cosby, he broke out with starring in The Wire and the soap opera All My Children and then subsequently moving on to Friday Night Lights. Before starring in beloved Marvel film Black Panther, he actually starred in another Marvel film Fantastic Four, but it was a box office flop. With his collaborations with Ryan Coogler starting with Fruitvale Station, he took off to the mainstream with his role of Adonis Creed in the Rocky spinoff film series Creed. He later became a household name with the help of Coogler when he starred as main antagonist of the film Erik Killmonger. In an interview with GQ, he talked about representation of Black acting roles in Hollywood. “You feel like you’re pitted against each other, in hindsight. I was like, ‘Damn! Everybody should be able to, like, work and grow and eat together. We’re not. Well, then, I guess there’s not enough roles.’ ” Even then, the solution seemed obvious to Jordan: “I guess the only logical thing to do is to create more roles.”

This franchise and in particular the themes of Creed III are deeply personal to me. I look forward to sharing the next chapter of Adonis Creed’s story with the awesome responsibility of being its director and namesake.”
Rocky star Sylvester Stallone starred in the first two Creed films, but decided to back down from the third movie. “What it was is Michael is telling a story, highly personal, but there’s no room for me,” he told The Independent. “In other words, it’s about his [Adonis’] family, about his dilemma, and about his journey that has nothing to do with boxing.”

So I just want to have these moments to be able to look back on. Especially those smaller moments between the big ones, you know what I mean? They might not seem significant in the moment, but then, years later, you realize that they actually were.”
(MAJOR SPOILER ALERT) Jordan reprised his role in Erik Killmonger in Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever as a cameo. Though his character was killed off in the first movie, his character visits Shuri in a sequence in the Ancestral Plane where she tries to be the next Black Panther.

So for me to be able to come back, and I really had to keep it under wraps, I had to grow my hair out. You know, I got the locks back in and stuff like that. And I’m traveling a lot of places, so I’ve got to wear a hat, a hoodie, fly private, which isn’t too bad of a thing. But being able to keep it under wraps was really a tough thing.
