- Actor Michael B. Jordan sits down with Ebro in the Morning for a great conversation surrounding the growth of his career, projects he is working on, and the preparation for his success today.
He discusses what you can expect in 'Creed III', directing and producing on the film, carrying the legacy of the franchise, and taking this part of the series to the next level. He also addresses why Sylvester Stallone who famously plays Rocky is not on the film.
Jordan also discusses how important 'Black Panther' and 'Wakanda Forever' were for not only the franchise but movies heavily involving Black actors and Black stories as well, and the tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman.
The New Jersey native also discussed topics such as giving back to the city of Newark, and working on the script for the anticipated 'I Am Legend 2' sequel with Will Smith.
'Creed III' is out on theaters Friday, March 3!

I’m a grown man I can honestly say I’m proud of Mike he’s a great role model for the youth looking for a positive identity to be inspired by❤️💯
@@Blackfeet don’t be childish bro, what he is saying makes sense
You dont know him like that, his name is Michael
@@Blackfeet sissy? Lol.
@@brandondavenport562 shut up Brandon
He's the new Will Smith.
He’s really been doin big things from The Wire, Hardball, Friday Night Lights, Chronicle, Fruitvale Station, Black Panther and now the Creed trilogy 👏🏽 love to see it
Fruitville station was my fav lol❤
I first saw him in theaters for a hardball when I was 9. I still haven’t seen the wire yet I binged watched Friday Night Lights and I love the Creed trilogy
@@pareeshaslaughter6798 it was a GREAT debut from a GREAT director....Ryan Coogler
People sleep on Chronicle too, good f'ing movie
Don't forget "All My Children". When I first saw MBJ I was watching the Soaps with my Grandmother. And it should be noted the Soaps produced quite a few big named Actors and Actresses.
We need to protect MBJ, Ryan Coogler, and Jonathan Majors at all cost. These Kings are paving the way and creating so many opportunities for our future generations
You got that right, three black kings.
Big facts
How are u going to protect them? Are you a security guard?
@@Shiftnlift You really took the time out of your busy day to write this comment? Congrats to you sir 👍🏾
@@Aishakenya824 thank you! just like you took time out of yours to comment about protecting a guy that doesn't know you exist! Are your edges protected as well?.
The fact that he tapped in with J.Cole & Dreamville for the soundtrack is genius 🤌🏾
And it’s FIRE. That collab is a huge win for the movie/Mike. Adds to the theme of the movie perfectly.
I still missed meek mill feature on Creed 3 soundtrack. He killed it the last 2 soundtracks
Michael b and j Cole are very close 💯💯
@@ItsYaBoi888I believe Meek was only on Creed 1’s soundtrack. 2 featured Asap Rocky
Michael is making a solid body of work and directing and producing like in Just Mercy. He is our modern day Denzel. He is transcending decades. Job well done.
To be fair he us no more Denzel, than Denzel was Sidney, He has enough to contend with being named Michael Jordan but the brother definitely carved his own place in the history books and that cannot be denied
He was 27 it’s crazy bro is 36 , his grown with creed , like that’s crazy 🔥🔥🔥his wisdom is unreal an it’s just so much to say man I’m proud of Michael man
And he's far from done in terms of acting, producing and directing movies.
They say this is corny, I’m confused, this guy is 💯
Hating Black Women talk.
@@visionentertainment8006 yeah it’s called hate and then he checked her on the red carpet and she ran with for her 20min of fame too funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He’s the coolest mf out there like whaat
MBJ, seems humble and supports his hometown and people. Blessings 🙌 to him and continued professional growth. Need more like the brother!
He was right about having an antagonist that you felt something for. He did it. Had me torn. Emotional.
Not playing, but Creed 3 is it. The story is tight. The acting is so well executed.
Applaude B Jordan for Bossin up after his breakup and getting back to the grind
I saw Creed III, and it's a great film. All the actors were amazing. Really proud of Michael B Jordan.😊
Lol I'm a weekend dad. Ima put this interview on favorites to make my son listen to this next weekend over breakfast. The guy is a true success story.
I’m the next young guy out of Jersey and imma make the city proud just like how Mike is always been an inspiration
Do your thing and speak it into existence . Keep on pushing despite Naysayers
Yes you will bro. Just always remember to keep your head up.
Always forward, Never back
Don’t fooled, the price of money and fame is too heavy to bear and not reverse-able
Do your thing my man, get it!
That's right! Speak it
MBJ Is the real deal. More than just an Actor. Much Respect
I met him walking in toronto a few years ago. Super down to earth and no security. He’s one of the few celebs I have met that I enjoyed meeting and was a positive experience. I will continue to support his art.
Saw Creed 3 with a bunch of friends. We all loved it. Great job to everyone involved.
Is Rocky talked about in it? Like is there a reason given for him not being in it?
@@Jakeyisdead he doesn’t like someone on the team
Someone give this man an Oscar, he's given so many great performances. Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, Just Mercy- and now getting into the director's chair with Creed 3. Can't wait to see where else he goes
Mike B. Jordan if you made it out the Briccs !! You can’t never 👎 be corny .. Well always love you in Newark an throw it up ⬆️ for You !! If You can make it out here , you make it anywhere !! ..
Big facts! #Chadwick
Ayyy man sayyy man!!! The whole truth !!!
Absolutely 💯
Joe Budden disagrees.
@@figo007tv joe buddens wears purses. His opinion don’t matter.
Michael B Jordan a great example for our youth, God bless you!!❤
Honestly being a 53 yr old Korean American mom I can say Michael is universally attractive inside and out
Creed lll was Excellent, and I am really proud of Michael B. Jordan.
I’m always proud of Michael B Jordan. The bro is very talented. I’ve seen all of his movies from Fruitvale Station, Chronicle, Black Panther as Erik Kilmonger, Friday Nights and the Creed franchise. He’s a positive role model. Stay awesome, Mike!🤓😎👊🏾📚
Michael B made Creed poetic.
M. B. Jordan is a Person of excellence, much respect for what he does, how he does it, and the legacy that he is producing....
I can't wait for I am legend 2!
Congratulations, Michel on Creed to and your directoral debut!
Great interview! I appreciate the mature respectful conversation. Please keep them coming.
I’ll never forget seeing him at ruby Tuesdays on 22 in Union NJ…he was just starting and his mom was kind enough to talk to my mom about how he got his start. He was discovered at his moms Drs office when someone asked about him. Just goes to show when you have a calling God will place you at the right place…we crossed paths so prove years later what is possible if you believe. 🙏
Agreed, MBJ, Ryan Coogler, Jonathan Majors-AMAZING pillars in the black community esp for young black men to look up to. It’s their time now ⏰
Great movie!! He did a fantastic job directing it. Love it!!
proud of the young man....remain humble and kick all of those doors open. favor and blessings always.
Truly a gem out of Newark whose a great actor..👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love what is he doing regarding HBCU colleges. That's for shedding some light on DE.
Brick City🥰I always tear up when I leave! So much talent and love in that city
Been a fan of Micheal B Jordan. He is my tv crush lol but also he seems to be a great and humble well raised man. I'm rooting for him and everything he does. Keep it up King I see you💪🏾🖤
Michael B Jordan is a solid brother. Big things will keep on happening because he believes in it 🙂
I’ll be at the movies 🍿 tonight I can’t wait for this..Hubby and I are so excited to see this..We’ve seen them all..Blessings to MBJ and the Creed Family💪🏽
Creed III was incredible!! Watched twice😊
So did I! It was amazing!
Mr. Jordan is a class act! Much respect and success to that man!!!
I love the fact that him and Wood Harris are still rockin since he was a kid in the Wire!! Now directing him etc. Awesome and impressive. I love that Creed 3 is a "Black" movie but not a BLACK movie. Meaning its about black people and about our experience and our culture without it being said but yet it I felt our culture 100!! Love it.
The hate going around for this man is crazy smh only on the internet 🤦🏿♂️
They love the come up but hate on you after you've made it. It happens all the time unfortunately.
Coming from a certain group
I'm so happy for Michael B. Jordan success is the greatest revenge, he is so mature, classy and humble salute to you Mr. Jordan you deserves all the success in the universe.
Yes. Classy.
Well said. The work ethic, skill, craft and motivation of these guys makes us all proud. Positive stories about us for a change…… heartfelt!
Saw the movie last night and it was EXCELLENT! 👏🏾
I just love #MichaelBJordan not just because his fine as heck but his HUMBLE and talented. You can see his mama raised him well. ❤
His mama is light skinned
@@helicoptergunship And? My mom is light skinned. Tf does that have to do with anything?
@@kurokaizen1889 I couldn't care less about your mom. Do you want a cookie for having a light skinned mom?
His daddy too. Brother came from functional two parent household.
2 parent households
👏👏👏 this man. When a chick/people dont see your vision from the start. But you win in the end. Success is the best revenge
Why do you need revenge for people that didn’t see your vision when you never needed them to?
......"always stay gracious l, best revenge is your paper" - Beyonce.......but why think about revenge on people..let them be lol
@@nategrae6074 Because The One who was clowning on Your Grind and Vision will the Same Ones with they hands out asking for a piece of your success
@@nategrae6074 because he’s a man with ambition, grit, and testosterone. Only a weakling would see it otherwise
Amen 🙏🏽 to that
This dude micheal b just seems like a humble cool dude to be around 100%
Great Work Michael 👏, achieving great things and still remaining humble. Amazing
Ive been a fan of Michael b jordan since the wire, and Fruitville Station. Dude is cool
me too
The fit is sick looking fly Michael B. This Creed is going to be amazing!!💪🏾Just watched the first one again for the seventh billon time and it brings back nostalgia for me thanks for the memories!
This guys mindset is amazing so inspirational
If I’m not on vacation or on set 😂😂 I love him. Great interview
I remember Michael played🎬 Reggie on All My Children back in the day...
"Naughty By Nature" is also from Newark.
I really like Michael B Jordan. I took like 10 of my family and friends to see Creed III yesterday. It was AMAZING. Like literally totally will be seeing it again several times!🙋🏿♀️🖤🖤😁🤗
@14:36 E looking at MBJ like a proud father 👏🏾👏🏾
Big up Hot 97. Absolutely amazing stuff.
Big up Michael B Jordan. Your a King in the film industry.
I ❤️ that he went in on Cteed 3 like that.. he's so intelligent, grateful, ..discussing ideas ... I just love the way he moves his hands... real mans hands... especially back to that scene where he secretly teaches Amara to fight...he sure can move that body body..KMBJ-SMAI😘😘🤟😛😜😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🙏🤟😘😘
great actor and an amazing human being. I would honestly say he's the Denzel of this generation with his talent/acting chops. And now directing.
This is how black people need to move. Focus on your goals, find people that want your growth, and grow with you. Right now he can hire family and friends, even if the job is just getting coffee. This is always at the forefront of my ambition.
Give Michael B Jordan flowers. This his decade to continue doing great things with the success in his career a champion for his own ppls back home
Michael B Jordan was amazing in "Fruitvale Station''. 😊
Queen Whitney Houston is from Newark New Jersey 🦋
Bro came a long way... I remember skinny kid with braids on wire...now will smith's status
Love you Michael B. So proud of you
Michael b Jordan is a great actor and has come along way.
Much respect to Mike man 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
It's great to see him taking on directorial role 👏
LET'S GO MBJ... keep up da great work King... #VeryInspiring ....
Creed 3 was awesome. Great directorial debut by MBJ.
Felt something was lacking without Sylvester Stallone, but yeah otherwise, it was great.
@@momssphagettiiyeah a few scenes could've used sly
@@thecunninlynguist apparently they wanted him to stay on to mentor for the fight against dame but the direction was too dark for him, i thought it would've worked perfectly with him being there
@@momssphagettiiafter seeing the film I don't see what darkness sly is talking about per se. The film overall felt like it had the spirit of the first 2 rockys, just modernized
I hope the movie will make a lot of money and it will be the number one movie over the weekend
“Creed “ IP (intellectual property ) is so good for series like this . Big ups to mike
This man has done so much press within such a short time period 🤯
Love you Michael continue to make us proud of you
This man and Johnathan majors are powerhouses. They are a pleasure to watch cause they take their craft seriously. We are in hood hands now that denzel is older and will is a goofball.
NEWARK,NJ!!!!! Just bought my tickets!!! Going to see it tomorrow @ 1pm!!! NEWARK SUPPORTS NEWARK!!!
Congrats babyboy...so proud 👏 this is yr time!!! And you're nailing it!!!!!!!
✨️🎊✨️✨️📚✨️✨️💖✨️
we riding with MBJ big salute to him and continued success the "Corny Dude" is out her winning and they Big Mad about it especially the 304's he would never give the time or day
Great movie it's good to see Michael B.Jordan taking control.
Was a fan since he was wallace!!!!!!!!!! Love seeing him grow into a legend
Incredible interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Protect Michael B Jordan at all COST 📌
Great movie! Recommended for everyone to see it! Excited for his other films!
Johnathan’s character definitely had layers!!! I felt for him but at the end I was like put his ass down 😂
😂😂😂😂
lol, I felt the same way. I was torn.
Love it guys. Much Love / Peace.
i think it's awesome he's going for it all. i hope he continues to make films. i can't put him in a denzel or will or jamie class, yet. he's got to make a bunch of films to get there. i do respect his ambition tho.
Glad he had used some of the Greats on the Directing while Acting, of course having a great Team as well!!!!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great interview! I'm enjoy the Creed series. Hope there's more.
Im so proud of my boy MBJ NEWARK NJ 🤙🤙🤙🤙WE LOVE OUR BROTHERS ALWAYS
Haven’t watched an interview from these guys in ages. Whentf did Rosenberg get divorced and engaged again? They still don’t let Laura get any questions off. MBJ is def gonna keep them going. He’s doing great things
His press run the Creed 3 is crazy. He everywhere
Amazing dude. His first time directing, he smashed tht sht
Regardless of what anyone says this was a good third movie. If they never come out with a fourth movie the creed series was a great run
Agreed
A living legend
New Jersey have produced a plethora of entertainers, such as: Savion Glover, Tisha Campbell, Frank Sinatra, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, etc. I can go on and on, but the list would be too big to type.
Dope interview. Salute to MBJ
Great interview
Shout out to hot 97. Finally they have something real and significant to discuss
I love him hes so gorgeous and articulate and intelligent
Class act keep up the great work
Proud of Mike 👍
I Am Legend 2! Let's go!
Yes sir! Can't wait to see it!💪🏾
