As great as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's films have been the past decade, one common complaint is that the villains are usually somewhat lacking.
That is not the case with Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger, the main villain in the white-hot "Black Panther" film. Killmonger has brains, brawn and – most importantly – a ton of motivation to hate the titular hero.
"His motivations, in his eyes, are his people and caring about the survival of his people – and he's willing to do whatever it takes to assure that," Jordan told PhillyVoice in an exclusive interview.
"As I developed this guy, I prayed hard and meditated on people like Malcolm X and Tupac Shakur."
In all his previous major film roles, Jordan has played the good guy and he said it was fun changing things up.
"It's a lot more fun playing the villain because you have less boundaries," he said. "It's definitely more fun playing the bad guy."
Jordan said it was also "unbelievable" to go mano a mano with Chadwick Boseman, who plays the titular hero.
