Michael B. Jordan Addresses Possibility Of Killmonger's MCU Return
Michael B. Jordan once again addresses the possibility of Killmonger making a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After working with Ryan Coogler on Fruitvale Station and Creed, Jordan starred in the writer/director’s Black Panther in 2018. In the film, Jordan played Erik Stevens aka Killmonger, the antagonist and estranged cousin of T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman).
Where T'Challa was raised in the prosperous country of Wakanda, Killmonger grew up in the Oakland projects after the death of his father at the hands of King T'Chaka. The two characters’ upbringing (and, in turn, world views) are at the heart of Black Panther, leading to commentary on culture, heritage, and society at large. Following a fierce battle for the Wakandan throne, Killmonger loses to T’Challa in a battle to the death. When the latter offers to heal his cousin as they watch the sunset, Killmonger says, “Bury me in the ocean, with my ancestors that jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage.” Despite his demise, fans long for the live-action return of Killmonger as one of the MCU’s best villains.
