Los Angeles, April 9 (NationPress) Hollywood star Michael B. Jordan has expressed admiration for filmmaker Ryan Coogler, highlighting the vital role the director has played in his journey to success.
The 38-year-old actor has collaborated with Coogler multiple times over the past decade in films like 'Creed', 'Black Panther', and 'Sinners'.
Jordan shared with 'Extra': "It’s incredibly significant to me… At a point earlier in my career, I was trying to determine what kind of actor I wanted to become, particularly as a lead. I was searching for my position in the entertainment realm."
"I had only participated in ensemble casts and had never headlined a film before, so I was on a quest for that. Ryan was the first director to have faith in my potential, affirming that I was a movie star and instilling that belief within me, you know?"
The actor stars alongside Hailee Steinfeld in 'Sinners', a new horror film set in the 1930s in the southern United States. Jordan previously mentioned that his co-star's performance reveals her "in a new light," according to femalefirst.co.uk.
He believes this project could mark a significant milestone in Steinfeld’s career.
He told WhoWhatWear: "Hailee's performance in 'Sinners' is impressively versatile and genuinely enjoyable. I think it will encourage audiences to see her in a way they haven’t had the chance to before.
"As you know, it’s challenging to grow up in this industry where people witness every step of your journey and form opinions about you and your abilities. I believe this role will showcase Hailee in an entirely new light."
Jordan cherished the experience of working with Steinfeld, noting that they formed a familial bond during filming.
He remarked: "She is extraordinarily talented, a diligent worker, and a fantastic scene partner."
"When engaged in a challenging project like this, with emotionally taxing scenes and lengthy days, you truly get the opportunity to become a family. I am immensely proud of her, and I eagerly await the world discovering her performance, and I genuinely can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next."
