Despite being killed off at the end of Ryan Coogler’s first Wakandan adventure, the Killmonger actor came back to reprise his MCU role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever after “[not even] know[ing] if [a return was] a possibility.”And despite Jordan’s Marvel character being presented on-screen as a villain, he sees Killmonger as misunderstood. He really related to the character, and even “didn’t think [the villain’s] argument was completely wrong” in the first Black Panther.

In a feature interview with Rolling Stone, Black Panther actor Michael B. Jordan got candid about his time playing Killmonger in the MCU and the emotional toll it took on him McAwley or McCawley Shamrock Irish Crest Celtic Aesthetic Shamrock New 3D T-Shirt Jordan said that “Killmonger allowed me to access the pain” and “unapologetic frustration” he had with the world. He remarked that he dove into these frustrations “for a lot longer than [he] ever had before:”“Killmonger allowed me to access the pain. And the unapologetic frustration that I had. But then, obviously, there’s a sadness that comes along with that. I dove into that for a lot longer than I ever had before. So coming out of that [role] it was hard to want love. Because during shooting I kept myself from family and children, and away from everything that Killmonger never had.”All of this bringing up of both personal and societal trauma on the biggest stage was something that Jordan lamented he “never thought a n**** from North Jersey’d be able to [do].”Connecting his role as Adonis Creed in the Creed franchise, a son of Apollo Creed and budding Black boxing superstar, to Black Panther’s Killmonger, Jordan said, “this is what Adonis is the most current iteration of.” His character is “Black in the world,” working “through the aftereffects of what Killmonger was fighting for” in Black Panther:“So this is what Adonis is the most current iteration of. He is Black in the world. He has to work through the aftereffects of what Killmonger was fighting for, and how Oscar wasn’t seen or respected. Adonis is trying to start a family, and dealing with childhood trauma, not knowing how to talk and not knowing how to express himself. Not knowing why he feels less, why doesn’t he feel worthy.”
