Michael B. Jordan Brings 'Just Mercy' To His Hometown!

Michael B. Jordan happily poses for a photograph while attending a special coummnity screening of his latest film Just Mercy held at CityPlex 12 Newark on Tuesday (December 17) in Newark, New Jersey.

The 32-year-old actor was accompanied by his co-stars Rob Morgan and Tim Blake Nelson, as well as author and executive producer Bryan Stevenson as he presented the film in his hometown.

Michael recently revealed that he insisted that the production, cast and set be all inclusive: “I think it’s time, honestly,” he explained on GMA. “The voice of the people is extremely powerful…and I think if we collectively continue to demand answers from these somewhat biased systems that we’ll start to see a change.”

Michael said Warner Brothers “ran towards the idea” of an inclusion rider — a clause in a contract which ensures gender and racial diversity in films.

“They adopted it with this movie but also Warner Media and all of their companies under their umbrella also adopted that inclusion act…so we had a chance to help write the language so now they hold their companies to a certain standard with that inclusion rider and I think that’s extremely important,” Jordan noted.
