Michael B. Jordan, the actor behind Black Panther’s Killmonger, says he is open to returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Good villains are hard to come by, especially in the world of superhero movies. Too often have otherwise excellent films in the genre been weighed down by a weak antagonist who lacks anything more than a potent physical threat.
Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger is widely considered to be one of the best villain’s Marvel have so far brought to the big screen, however, so perhaps there will be a way for us to see him again. According to Jordan himself, when speaking to MTV, he is open to the idea:
“I mean, I’m a fan, as you said, of Marvel, of comic books, everybody knows that. So I mean if there was ever an opportunity for me to come back and like join this universe and work with like Joe Russo, Kevin Feige, Victoria [Alonso], and everyone over there at Marvel, re-team with Ryan [Coogler] you know, of course I would.”
As it happens, an as-yet-unconfirmed rumour has suggested that Jordan could be in line for a return in Black Panther 2, while Ryan Coogler is also said to be eyeing Donald Glover (who has already appeared in the MCU as Aaron Davis in Spider-Man: Homecoming).
Would you be interested in seeing Jordan reprise the role of Killmonger in a future MCU film? Or should Marvel only look forward?
