With a career accelerating faster than a cheetah slipping on soap, Michael B Jordan has added another high profile project to his sizeable “to do” list.
Already making waves in comic book circles due to his casting as The Human Torch in the rebooted FANTASTIC FOUR, the young actor will team up with prolific producer Greg Berlanti (The Tomorrow People) for CIA thriller MEN WHO KILL. Cementing Jordan’s working relationship with FOUR studio Fox, this latest movie has an as-yet undisclosed plot. However, the paying out of a six figure sum for the pitch and that ferociously snappy title tells us everything we need to know perhaps.
Continuing the tradition of shoehorning up and comers into franchise roles – Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye & Hansel, Karl Urban as McCoy & Dredd – Jordan is also associated somewhat bizarrely with a ROCKY spin-off called CREED. I’d much prefer a Mr T vehicle called CLUBBER LANG myself, but that’s just my beef.
