Michael B Jordan has opened up on the possibility of his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The American actor played Erik "Killmonger" Stevens in 2018 hit film Black Panther opposite the late Chadwick Boseman and Lupita Nyong'o.
The character has also made an appearance in Disney+'s animated series, What If...?, released last year. Jordan voiced the character in two episodes, igniting a conversation about whether he would be open to return to the MCU in the flesh.
"It's a character in a world that I love so much," the actor said in an interview with MTV UK.
"Who knows?" he queried, before adding: "As we all know, Marvel has their plans and their things and, you know, how things are gonna shake out."
It sounds like Jordan isn't ruling being in Killmonger's shoes again. With another Black Panther movie scheduled for release at the end of this year, could the actor be pulling a very convincing Andrew Garfield and lie about his actual involvement? Only time will tell.

An adaptation of Dana Canedy's memoir, the film tells the author's love story with her fiancé Charles, a sergeant deployed in Iraq where he pens a journal for their infant son.
Alongside Jordan, the movie stars Chanté Adams in the role of Dana and Jalon Christian in that of Jordan. The film is directed by Denzel Washington, with Washington and Jordan also serving as producers.
