He earned further acclaim for his performances in Creed (2015), Black Panther (2018), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), and Sinners (2025), all of which were written and directed by Coogler. Jordan reprised his role of Donnie Creed in Creed II (2018) and Creed III (2023); the latter also marked his directorial debut. His other films include Chronicle (2012), That Awkward Moment (2014), Fantastic Four (2015), and Just Mercy (2019), in which he portrayed Bryan Stevenson.
