Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony for Michael B Jordan

The Newark native was introduced by ‘Black Panther’ director Ryan Coogler and his ‘Creed III’ co-star, Jonathan Majors.

“Ooh man, this is pretty cool,” said Jordan. “This is probably one of the most unforgettable weeks I’ve had. I’m extremely humbled and grateful to be here … I know it’s not a small achievement. It’s not lost on me how special this moment is and what this represents to our community, so from the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you.”

Creed the movie

The 36-year-old is also celebrating Creed III, which is set to be released this Friday.  Adonis Creed is finally out of the shadow of his father Apollo and Rocky Balboa, whose legacy loomed large over the first two films (Sylvester Stallone decided “Creed II” would be his last).

Jordan’s star marks the 2,751st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of Motion Pictures.
