Michael B. Jordan remains open to working with Jonathan Majors again, even after Majors’ legal controversies and dismissal from Marvel, though Jordan admits he does not have a strategy to address any skepticism from the crew. This attitude toward potential collaboration has become a focal point for fans and industry insiders, as the prospect of the two actors reuniting raises questions about trust and reputation in the film industry.
The Evolution of Jordan and Majors’ On-Set Friendship
Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors became close while filming Creed III. In this installment of the enduring franchise, Jordan reprised his role as Adonis Creed, the protagonist, while Majors was introduced as the antagonist Damian Anderson, a childhood friend of Creed who becomes his rival. Despite the adversarial dynamic of their characters on screen, the two actors formed a genuine friendship during production, supporting each other both publicly and privately.
Their camaraderie was evident throughout the promotional phase of the film. Jonathan Majors, who described Michael B. Jordan as his best buddy, frequently acknowledged the bond they forged during the demanding shoot. This connection remained strong even after filming wrapped, with Jordan continuing to support Majors amid personal and professional difficulties.
After Creed III concluded production, Majors faced serious allegations in 2023 from his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. The accusations led to his conviction on charges of misdemeanor assault and harassment. Despite these developments, and even after Majors was dropped by Marvel Studios and lost his role in major franchises like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Loki, Jordan expressed his willingness to work with Majors again.
Such loyalty has made Michael B. Jordan a subject of discussion among fans and critics, especially since his career includes collaborations with a diverse range of personalities. However, supporting a friend like Majors under these circumstances has also placed Jordan in the center of controversy, with questions arising about how he might handle concerns from colleagues on future projects.
Jordan Acknowledges He Has No Plan to Address Crew Concerns
The possibility of the two actors sharing the screen again brings up the practical question of how Michael B. Jordan would reassure crew members wary of Jonathan Majors’ recent legal troubles. When asked about this issue during a Vulture interview, Jordan replied candidly:
“To be brutally honest, I haven’t even thought about it yet, man. The energy to thoughtfully break that down — yeah, I can’t give that right now.”
—Michael B. Jordan
This forthright answer highlights the complex emotions surrounding the issue for Jordan, who remains extremely busy with his own career matters. Currently, Michael B. Jordan is involved in unrelated legal proceedings, having been named in courtroom matters involving Cassie Ventura during P Diddy’s ongoing federal criminal trial. The additional scrutiny makes it even less likely that Jordan is prepared to address concerns about working with Majors at this stage.
Looking Ahead: Will a Future Collaboration Happen?
Despite Michael B. Jordan’s openness to collaboration and his friendship with Jonathan Majors, the likelihood of the two reuniting on-screen soon appears slim. While some fans are eager to see another joint project, it remains unclear whether such a film or series will develop in the near future. Questions about how Jordan would navigate industry doubts and public perception regarding Majors remain unanswered for now. Only time will reveal if the two actors will work together again, or if these challenges will ultimately prevent their partnership from continuing.
For those wishing to revisit their on-screen chemistry, Creed III is currently available for streaming on Prime Video.
