Michael B Jordan went to a `dark place` for Black Panther
The `Creed` actor plays the role of Erik Killmonger in the Ryan Coogler-directed film with Chadwick Boseman playing the titular character.
London: Actor Michael B Jordan has said that he was taken to a "dark place" while preparing for his role in the upcoming Marvel film 'Black Panther'.
The 'Creed' actor plays the role of Erik Killmonger in the Ryan Coogler-directed film with Chadwick Boseman playing the titular character.
"It took me to a dark place. Honestly, I can't really go through all I went through to get into it because I want to keep that close to me. But it stuck with me afterwards...
"Chadwick's a very talented dude. There's a lot of physical moments and action sequences throughout this film that cause us to really challenge ourselves, and also fall deeper into character," Jordan told Empire magazine.
Jordan also said that "everybody" can relate to the film in some way.
"It's an all-black cast for the most part and it's set in Africa, but it's universal in so many ways to everybody around the world, so I feel like it's something that everybody can take something from," Jordan said.
