The big-screen collaborations between actor Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler have been — pardon the pun — fruitful over the years.
There’s the “Rocky” spinoff “Creed,” the acclaimed boxing drama written and directed by Coogler in which Jordan stars as Adonis Creed, an amateur boxer trained and mentored by Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa.
There are, of course, the massively successful and Oscar-winning “Black Panther” flicks, the first of which quickly became the highest-grossing film directed by a Black filmmaker with a cool $1.3 billion worldwide upon release.
