Michael B. Jordan Thanks 'Sinners' Fans at Upfronts

During an appearance at Amazon's upfronts on May 12, Michael B. Jordan praised Sinners impressive box office performance. 

“I want to say thank you to everyone who’s been supporting Sinners in theaters right now," he said, before going on to discuss the "Creed-verse," in the words of Deadline.

According to the outlet, a nod to the film he wasn't necessarily there to discuss was "unusual". 

As Jordan's fans are well aware, the multi-hyphenate is involved in many upcoming projects, including Delphi, which he will executive produce alongside showrunner Marco Ramirez. 

Discussing an Adonis Creed franchise and Ryan Coogler's part in it, Jordan said: “Fun fact: the first film we did was called Fruitvale Station and something really, really unique and special happened in that movie. Before we shot one frame for that movie, he pitched to me the idea for Adonis Creed, that’s where the genesis of this entire thing kind of started."

The long-in-the-works TV extension of the ‘Creed’ movie universe is reality.

Prime Video has ordered ‘Delphi,’ a drama series executive produced by ‘Creed’ movie franchise star Michael B. Jordan and Marco Ramirez, who will serve as showrunner.

He continued, "Slipping into those gloves as Adonis Creed, has been nothing short of transformative, it changed my life. We’re just getting started with the Creed-verse."

Delphi will focus on young boxers at the Delphi gym. The original Delphi Boxing Academy was where Apollo Creed trained for my years. It was founded by Tony "Duke" Evers and is now run by his son. 

Speaking about the upcoming series, Jordan added, "We’re building something special here, and I’m excited to introduce you to new fighters that will walk into the Delphi. As always, in Creed we say, one step, one round, one punch at a time.”

Delphi is the latest in a growing slate of projects based on MGM’s existing IP.
