Michael B. Jordan ‘proud’ of Jonathan Majors’ ‘resilience,’ isn’t giving up on his comeback

As a result, he lost major projects, including his role as Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hollywood distanced itself from him, and his future in the industry became uncertain. Majors was sentenced to a year of rehabilitative counseling, and a 52-week domestic violence intervention program. Whether or not audiences and studios will take him back remains an open question. 

Michael B. Jordan wants to get Majors back on screen

Jordan, who not only starred alongside Majors in Creed III but also directed the film, has been vocal about his . Per The Hollywood Reporter, Jordan mentioned in an email that he would love to make Creed IV, among other projects with Majors. In a recent interview with GQ, Jordan confirmed that he would be open to collaborating with Majors again. He even openly showed for his co-actor.

“Tough situation… but he’s doing great, just got engaged. I’m proud of his resilience and his strength through it all, and [his] handling [of] it. I’m glad he’s good. That’s my boy.”

That kind of endorsement from Jordan, one of Hollywood’s most respected actors and directors, could be crucial for Majors, especially as he tries to rebuild his career. Jordan’s words may help shift industry perception, signaling that the former MCU star still has allies in high places. With Creed IV officially confirmed, Jordan has a real opportunity to bring Majors back into the fold. In Creed III, Majors played Damian Anderson, Adonis Creed’s childhood friend-turned-rival, and his performance was widely praised. Bringing him back for a sequel would not only provide Majors with the much-needed comeback but also make sense for the Creed franchise. 

Of course, the decision isn’t entirely up to Jordan. Studio executives will have the final say, and they may or may not hesitate to take a chance on Majors, given his recent legal troubles. Hollywood tends to be cautious when it comes to controversial figures, especially in today’s climate. However, the industry has also shown that redemption arcs are possible. One of the biggest factors in Majors’ potential comeback is audience reception.

While Hollywood may eventually offer him roles, it ultimately depends on whether moviegoers are willing to his projects. His film, Magazine Dreams, which received critical acclaim at Sundance, will be a litmus test. If audiences respond well to his performance, studios may be more inclined to take a chance on him.
