Michael B. Jordan has had plenty of build-up for his next directorial feature. Following his debut behind the camera with Creed III in 2023, Jordan went back to focusing on acting in perhaps his biggest role yet. After a year-long break with no feature film roles in 2024, the actor reunited with his long-time collaborator Ryan Coogler to star in the Black Panther director’s original feature Sinners. The film earned critical and financial acclaim, with Jordan eventually winning the Academy Award for Best Actor for his dual roles as the twins Smoke and Stack. Now, Jordan is directing a remake of one of the most famous heist movies of all time.
