Black Panther star coming to Mzansi

Award-winning US actor Michael B Jordan, pictured, who has starred in Black

Panther and Fantastic Four, is coming to South Africa in November.

Jordan, 31, is expected to meet his fans as he will be kicking off his international publicity tour for his latest film, Creed II.

The film, which comes out locally on November 30, sees Jordan reprise the role of Adonis Creed in the continuation of the Rocky saga.

In Creed II, Adonis will have to face down Viktor, the protege of Russian boxer Ivan Drago, the man who killed his father Apollo in the ring. The film is the sequel to the Rocky franchise spin-off, Creed, which wowed critics and cleaned up at the worldwide box office, raking in more than $170 million (R2.5 billion).

Jordan and his fellow co-stars will be in South Africa for the film’s premiere on November 24. Fans are urged to mark their calendars. – Citizen reporter
