Michael B Jordan's 'Without Remorse' pushed back to 2021

&nbsp;Addressing crowds during an anti-racism protest in Los Angeles on Saturday, actor Michael B. Jordan pitched studios and agencies to 'invest in black staff'. 
 
Jordan was vocal throughout last week on Instagram, showing solidarity with others against the racial injustice, following the death of an African American man, George Floyd, under police detention.

Taking to the streets, the actor during a protest against police violence, reflected on some of his film roles and what they have thought him about racial injustice and inequality. 
 
Referring to his 2013 released drama 'Fruitvale Station',&nbsp;and his role as Oscar Grant gave him the "opportunity to feel the pain of his family, his daughter, his mother. I lived with that for a very long time and it weighs on me," the news agency&nbsp;quoted Jordan as saying.

Noting his role as a fireman who joined a revolution in 'Fahrenheit 451', he added: "Producing that movie made me really realize the lengths that the government and oppressors will go to keep knowledge out of your hands." 
 
He also said that he also had the 'honour'&nbsp;of playing Bryan Stevenson in 'Just Mercy'. "In doing so I learned his tactics. I learned his mentality. I learned his approach to things. Very calm. Very strategic. Very thoughtful. You have to be proximal. You have to be close to [the] issues," the 33-year-old said. 
 
Jordan continued to address the crowd, emphasizing that he supports everybody attending the protest and understands that "we have to be here together". 
 
He later called on people to "invest in black staff," including studios and agencies."A great agent doesn`t have to be a great organizer, but a great agent could advocate for relationships with organizers," the 'Black Panther'&nbsp;star said. 
 
He later added: "What we are doing today will make our values heard and our voices heard. We've got to keep agitating things. We can`t be complacent. We can't let this moment just pass us by, we have to continue to put our foot on their necks."&nbsp;

'Invest in black staff', urges Michael B Jordan during anti-racism protest

If Michael B Jordan has his way, then we might just get to see the first coloured Superman soon! The American actor has reportedly pitched an idea for a new take on `Superman` to Warner Bros. 
 
This year, the 32-year-old star`s production company, `Outlier Society,` signed a first-look deal with Warner Bros. in January, so it`s not all too shocking that the star would make the move from Marvel to DC. Jordan has featured in a prominent role in Marvel's smash hit 'Black Panther'.&nbsp; 
 
While Jordan did pitch his own take on the beloved caped superhero, the film--if it were to be greenlit--would reportedly not hit the theatres before 2023. If the film does happen, Jordan will be the first non-white actor to play the superhero.&nbsp; 
 
This is because Jordan is busy with the list of upcoming projects as well as Warner Bros.` Despite reports of a reboot, there is no script or director attached to Jordan`s pitch.&nbsp;

Michael B Jordan to star in Denzel Washington's directorial 'Journal for Jordan'

Actor Michael B Jordan has revealed that he had to undergo therapy after playing villainous Erik Killmonger in Marvel tentpole 'Black Panther'.

In the superhero saga, directed by Jordan's frequent collaborator Ryan Coogler, Killmonger is shown as a relatable person, a man who wants the throne of a technologically-advanced country to support the black community all over the world.

The actor was recently in a conversation with Oprah Winfrey for her 'SuperSoul Conversations' TV special where he opened about his acting process for the film, which has been nominated in the Best Picture category of the upcoming Academy Awards 2019.

Jordan said to do the justice to the character, who he believes was a lonely person, he purposely distanced himself from others.

"I spent a lot of time alone. I figured Erik, his childhood growing up was pretty lonely. He didn't have a lot of people he could talk to about this place called Wakanda that didn't exist," he said.

He admitted that the film was "an extreme, exaggerated version of the African diaspora from the African-American perspective."

"So to be able to take that kind of pain and rage and all those emotions that Erik kind of represents from being black and brown here in America? that was something I didn't take lightly," Jordan added.&nbsp;

After wrapping up the film, Jordan said he found it difficult to reconnect with people.&nbsp;

"Readjusting to people caring about me, getting that love that I shut out. I shut out love, I didn't want love. I wanted to be in this lonely place as long as I could," he said.

He sought therapy to help him overcome this phase and he said the sessions "helped me out a lot".&nbsp;

"Your mind is so powerful. Your mind will get your body past a threshold that it would have given up on way before. Honestly, therapy, just talking to somebody just helped me out a lot. As a man, you get a lot of slack for it... I don't really subscribe to that. Everyone needs to unpack and talk," he added.&nbsp;

Santa Barbara festival to honour Michael B Jordan

The past few years have witnessed a gamut of superhero film from Marvel and DC comics. Some have been known, some introduced in the cinematic universe for the first time. Most superhero films, in fact, follow the same trajectory. An individual with extraordinary superpowers fighting the evil who is hell bent upon disrupting world peace and claim dominance over it. It is then left upon our superhero, to save the world and thereby save the humanity. This is the main crux of every superhero film. But Marvel Cinematic Universe&#39;s latest offering, Black Panther, stands out as it not only introduces the first non-white superhero but also lets its main protagonist search deeper within as he fights one of his own.&nbsp; 
 
Directed by Ryan Coogler, Black Panther is the 18th Marvel film and perhaps, culturally, the most relevant of them all. Based on the comic book character that was first introduced in 1966, Black Panther narrates the story a fictional land called Wakanda- a remote area in Africa surrounded by hills all around. The country which secretly survives and advances because of its vast reserve of the world&#39;s most powerful metal vibranium,&nbsp;but projects a completely different life to the world outside. Termed as a &#39;third world country&#39; by the the world, Wakanda in reality is light years ahead.&nbsp; 
 
The kingdom&#39;s newly appointed King T&#39;Challa (Chadwick Boseman) or the Black Panther is entrusted with an important mission soon after his elaborate coronation. He has to go fetch Ulysses Klaue(Andy Serkis), a villainous arms dealer who has breached the defenses of Wakanda. The pursuit of Klaue takes him to Busan, South Korea along with his general Okoye(Danai Gurira) and Nakia(Lupita Nyong&#39;o) - a Wakanda spy and his ex. And though they manage to capture Klaue with a bit of help from a CIA Agent Ross(Martin Freeman), Klaue manages to escape while in custody with the help of an ex CIA agent Eric(Michael B Jordan) who goes by the name of &#39;Killmonger&#39;.

Michael B Jordan and Chadwick Boseman in a still from the Black Panther (Others)
</div>
<a class="close-mark close-div" href="javascript:void(0)" id="jqclosemark">&times;</a></div>

 
It turns out that Eric is the son of a Wakanda rogue who broke away from the kingdom years ago and was eventually killed. Eric is now back in his land, to seek revenge and claim what he rightfully thinks is his own. And thus begins a journey of fighting one&#39;s own for T&#39;Challa, who is conflicted within- whether to fight back or meekly give in for he feels he and his forefathers have wronged Eric.&nbsp; 
 
The canvas, of course, is massive. And Coogler brings out the vibrant African culture to the fore and infuses it with technical advancement. Wakanda is a utopian land, where the people are steeped in&nbsp;culture&nbsp;yet are one of the most advanced nations in the world thanks to the wealth, the vast reserve of vibranium which powers practically everything around them. There also lies conflicting opinion within Wakanda on how one should use their wealth and resources. One group believes that they should remain allusive- not revealing to the world their strength. While the other feels the wealth can be helped in eradicating poverty of fellow African brothers. And T&#39;Challa treads into an unknown role where he has to be the just king and be true to his ancestry but also carve his own path. 
 
One of the biggest strength of Black Panther is its stellar star cast. Be the lead or the delightful cameos, it&#39;s a delight to watch such talented cast come together for a film. Chadwick Boseman plays the titular character with restraint. Like most stand-alone superhero films, Boseman&#39;s character is conflicted within, burdened by the great responsibilities that have been bestowed upon him. Boseman plays the righteous Black Panther with absolute ease.&nbsp;

A scene from Black Panther. (Others)

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="javascript:void(0)" id="jqclosemark">&times;</a></div>

Black Panther also has the incredible Lupita Nyong&#39;o playing T&#39;Challa&#39;s ex who not just proves to be an able warrior in times of crisis but also serves as T&#39;Challa&#39;s inner voice and conscience keeper. The film has Michael B Jordan who plays the jilted, conflicted Eric with absolute panache and it has Danai Gurira as Okoye, one of the best written female characters in any superhero film. She is feisty, loyal and full of spunk!&nbsp; 
 
In fact, Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole make you root for the female characters more. Okoye, Nakia, and T&#39;Challa&#39;s sister Shuri(Letitia Wright)- the brain behind all the technological advancement in the land - are strong women, and are a delight to watch on the screen. These characters are not there to add glamour, but they play an important part in the narrative.&nbsp;

Since its the first break out film for the comic book hero, a lot of the film is spent in establishing his story which can be a bit tedious after a point. The superhero action scenes are therefore restricted to only certain parts. Nevertheless, they manage to thrill. Especially the chase scene on the streets of Busan where the audience gets the first glimpse of Black Panther&#39;s incredible superpowers.&nbsp;

Laced with subtle humour, the film also highlights that how the world is mostly ignorant about Africa and its people. It also briefly touches upon the monumental movement of the 1960s that took place in America and how it change the political landscape of the country forever.

Above all, Black Panther should be lauded for bringing in a change. It is not as fun as previous year&#39;s Thor:Ragnarok&nbsp;but it is a relevant film for the present times. While it doesn&#39;t even come close to end the white supremacy in the superhero universe, it surely breaks the monotony by opening up the culturally rich Africa to the world. Hopefully, this too will become a successful franchise in the coming years and compel people to think beyond the usual.&nbsp; 
 
Ratings: 3/5

The kingdom's newly appointed King T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) or the Black Panther is entrusted with an important mission soon after his elaborate coronation. He has to go fetch Ulysses Klaue(Andy Serkis), a villainous arms dealer who has breached the defenses of Wakanda. The pursuit of Klaue takes him to Busan, South Korea along with his general Okoye(Danai Gurira) and Nakia(Lupita Nyong'o) - a Wakanda spy and his ex. And though they manage to capture Klaue with a bit of help from a CIA Agent Ross(Martin Freeman), Klaue manages to escape while in custody with the help of an ex CIA agent Eric(Michael B Jordan) who goes by the name of 'Killmonger'. Michael B Jordan and Chadwick Boseman in a still from the Black Panther (Others) × It turns out that Eric is the son of a Wakanda rogue who broke away from the kingdom years ago and was eventually killed. Eric is now back in his land, to seek revenge and claim what he rightfully thinks is his own. And thus begins a journey of fighting one's own for T'Challa, who is conflicted within- whether to fight back or meekly give in for he feels he and his forefathers have wronged Eric. The canvas, of course, is massive. And Coogler brings out the vibrant African culture to the fore and infuses it with technical advancement. Wakanda is a utopian land, where the people are steeped in culture yet are one of the most advanced nations in the world thanks to the wealth, the vast reserve of vibranium which powers practically everything around them. There also lies conflicting opinion within Wakanda on how one should use their wealth and resources. One group believes that they should remain allusive- not revealing to the world their strength. While the other feels the wealth can be helped in eradicating poverty of fellow African brothers. And T'Challa treads into an unknown role where he has to be the just king and be true to his ancestry but also carve his own path. One of the biggest strength of Black Panther is its stellar star cast. Be the lead or the delightful cameos, it's a delight to watch such talented cast come together for a film. Chadwick Boseman plays the titular character with restraint. Like most stand-alone superhero films, Boseman's character is conflicted within, burdened by the great responsibilities that have been bestowed upon him. Boseman plays the righteous Black Panther with absolute ease. A scene from Black Panther. (Others) × Black Panther also has the incredible Lupita Nyong'o playing T'Challa's ex who not just proves to be an able warrior in times of crisis but also serves as T'Challa's inner voice and conscience keeper. The film has Michael B Jordan who plays the jilted, conflicted Eric with absolute panache and it has Danai Gurira as Okoye, one of the best written female characters in any superhero film. She is feisty, loyal and full of spunk! In fact, Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole make you root for the female characters more. Okoye, Nakia, and T'Challa's sister Shuri(Letitia Wright)- the brain behind all the technological advancement in the land - are strong women, and are a delight to watch on the screen. These characters are not there to add glamour, but they play an important part in the narrative. Since its the first break out film for the comic book hero, a lot of the film is spent in establishing his story which can be a bit tedious after a point. The superhero action scenes are therefore restricted to only certain parts. Nevertheless, they manage to thrill. Especially the chase scene on the streets of Busan where the audience gets the first glimpse of Black Panther's incredible superpowers. A still from Black Panther. (Others) × Laced with subtle humour, the film also highlights that how the world is mostly ignorant about Africa and its people. It also briefly touches upon the monumental movement of the 1960s that took place in America and how it change the political landscape of the country forever. Above all, Black Panther should be lauded for bringing in a change. It is not as fun as previous year's Thor:Ragnarok but it is a relevant film for the present times. While it doesn't even come close to end the white supremacy in the superhero universe, it surely breaks the monotony by opening up the culturally rich Africa to the world. Hopefully, this too will become a successful franchise in the coming years and compel people to think beyond the usual. Ratings: 3/5
