Michael B Jordan, who also
produces movies, will soon be seen in Denzel Washington’s ‘A Journal for
Jordan: A Story of Love and Honor’. The recent trailer release of the same and
a thread by a social media user sparked the entire debate of the comparison
between the two. Jordan shot to fame with his action drama movies like
‘Fruitvale Station’ (2013), and ‘Creed’ (2015).
He further got close to being
an A-lister after he impressed the audience with his role of Erik Killmonger in
Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ released in 2018. Interestingly, all three were
helmed by Ryan Coogler. After getting praised for ‘Creed II’, he will now be
making his directorial debut with ‘Creed III’ in 2022.
Denzel Washington, on the
other hand, boasts an illustrious career spanning more than four decades. The
Hollywood icon has bagged two Academy Awards along with three Golden Golden
Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Tony Award. In 2016, he was
honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award and was named as
the greatest actor of the 21st century in 2020 by the New York Times.
Movie fanatics gave their two
cents on the heated debate where one user stated, “Denzel Washington is a top
level Major League actor. Michael B Jordan is a solid Minor League actor, which
is fine but there’s really no comparison.” Another user said, “Honestly it’s
very disrespectful to mention Michael b Jordan in the same sentence as Denzel.”
One tweeted, “Michael B Jordan stopped being attractive after Creed.”
The next one shared, “No. he is a movie star but not an actor. we had
chances with him and john David and Idris and Mahershala but it didn’t work
that way.” Meanwhile, one user claimed, “Jordan’s a bad actor. A more
interesting debate is whether or not he’s smart off-camera. Always struck me as
somebody who knows what to say but doesn’t totally know why he’s saying it,
which makes me very interested in his vision for Creed III.”
And, one persona asserted,
“Michael B Jordan is more like the next Bruce Willis of this generation.” One
user concluded while sharing a detailed insight, “I’m sorry but no he is not. I
think the next Denzel of the generation would’ve been Chadwick. I think Michael
B Jordan can act but he seems he can only act in certain criteria, if that
makes sense. Even Winston Duke has a bigger range than him and he’s done less
movies.”
