Jordan also talks to British GQ about the importance of Black Panther. I think it’s extremely important,
says Jordan. I feel like I never had that many actors to look at and inspire me growing up. Black actors that I could identify with, that look like me on screen.
Jordan continues, I used to see other films growing up and I would automatically play make-believe, films like X-Men. I watched Blade and I saw Wesley [Snipes]. I didn’t have to try that hard to imagine because I was seeing someone that resembles me. And I’m just thinking about what this movie is going to do to the kids growing up.
