Los Angeles, Dec 7 (NationPress) Acclaimed Hollywood star Michael B. Jordan has disclosed his top choice for a pop culture vampire. During his recent appearance at the Gotham Awards held in New York City, he unveiled his preferred on-screen vampire.

The character that captured Jordan's admiration made its theatrical debut in the mid-1990s. He pointed out the film ‘Vampire in Brooklyn’, as reported by ‘People’ magazine.

Jordan, aged 38, highlighted the role played by Eddie Murphy in the 1995 vampire horror comedy ‘Vampire in Brooklyn’.

“The world’s last vampire is about to encounter something infinitely more terrifying than himself, Brooklyn,” the film’s narrator proclaims in the trailer.

According to ‘People’, Eddie Murphy, now 64, embodies the undead vampire alongside Angela Bassett, who portrays Detective Rita Veder, the vampire's intended eternal companion.

Fast forward thirty years since Murphy's portrayal of vampires, Jordan has stepped into the realm of cinematic vampires himself with his film ‘Sinners’, which is now vying for Oscar consideration.

In Sinners, Jordan takes on the dual roles of twins Elijah ‘Smoke’ Moore and Elias ‘Stack’ Moore, who stand their ground against an onslaught of vampires invading their hometown. By the film's conclusion, set in the 1930s, one twin falls victim to a vampire bite and becomes one himself. Sinners can be streamed on Max and is also available for purchase on Prime Video, Fandango At Home, and Apple TV.

Michael B. Jordan first gained attention with the film ‘Fruitvale Station’, followed by global recognition for his roles as Adonis Creed in the ‘Creed’ series and Erik Killmonger in Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’. He is known for his intense, athletic performances and his collaborations with director Ryan Coogler.

In addition to acting, he made his directorial debut with ‘Creed III’ and has been actively producing projects through his company, Outlier Society, which promotes inclusive storytelling and diversity initiatives within the industry.
