Michael B. Jordan did not see children during filming of black Panther: ‘It was hard to want love’

Michael B Jordan played the villain Erik Killmonger for the first time in 2018, in the success black Pantherfrom the Marvel. Now, with another feature in the franchise already released, the actor revealed that the complex role went beyond the professional and ended up impacting his personal life (via Variety).

The revelation was made in a recent interview with Rolling Stone USAoccasion on which Michael B Jordan talked about some of the biggest challenges of his career. about to launch Creed III (film that arrives in Brazil in March), the actor got emotional when talking about killmonger.

It turns out that, as pointed out by the journalist Carvell Wallacethe villain of black Panther it’s that kind of role that makes the actor face issues he can’t face in real life. In that case, killmonger is a black man so frustrated with the centuries of oppression suffered by his fellow men, he is willing to destroy his own ancestry.

And it was precisely in light of this reflection that Michael B Jordan pondered the weight of the character, stating that he struggled even with “wanting love” from his family after the project. During his speech, the actor was moved and even shed a few tears.

killmonger allowed me to access the pain. And the unapologetic frustration I had. But then obviously there’s a sadness that goes along with that. I immersed myself in this for a lot longer than I expected. So getting out of this [papel] it was hard to want love. Because during filming I got away from my family, my kids, and everything that killmonger never had,” he revealed.

Much of this distancing happened because, in addition to being a tool to get on paper, it was also necessary in the context of the studio in which Michael worked. Known as one of the companies that most creates mysteries around its productions, Marvel often requires its employees—including actors—not to share movie information, even to their families.

“I had to lie to my family. I had to lie to everyone…” Michaelin an interview with Extra. “When you are dealing with Marvel, you know the routine. So you just have to, you know, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny it all the way.”
