After Creed 3 is it safe to give MBJ a seat at the table with Denzel, Samuel L, Sidney poitier, Angela Basset, Beyoncé, Viola Davis, D Dandridge etc?

Just came into the thread to point out Beyonce being in the title, but plenty did that already

They asked him this on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game and he said he's still tryna build his legacy, not verbatim but something along those lines.

Where would Nate Parker be if he didn't ruin his career tho? :patrice: He might coulda been Creed

im sorry but Creed and BP are not examples of movies that put anyone in that list.

Denzel has that 90s Spike Lee run that put him up there...
...movies that showed his acting ability.

I'm gonna keep it 💯 .

This isn't bad to me. At all. Except for when she threw that plate.
Everything else, I bought her emotions.

Still wouldn't put her where op did, but this failed if it was supposed to be a gotcha.
it really wasn’t I just don’t get a chance to post that scene usually
I still get a good laugh out of it though :lolbron:

I think Michael is "up next" so to speak, but I don't think his body of work will ever be what it needs to be to put him in that company. He needs to act in more dramatic roles. "Fruitvale station", "Just Mercy" were really good roles for him that showed his range. He also has a movie coming out called "Wrong answers" where he plays a teacher in Atl that ends up in a scandal after falsifying test scores to get increased funding in his school. Where he kind of confuses people is mixed in between that is Rainbow six, Thomas crown affair, and Methuselah. He'll get there one day though. It will be nice to see him and Jonathon Majors develop even more as they get older. If Chad was still here that would be a helluva trio for black hollywood.

Dude didn't even ruin his career. Because he was legally vindicated, but Black women went against him and destroyed him and he had insufficient power and status to fight it.

And he wouldn't have done Creed because he just didn't have the talent. Because Birth of a Nation wasn't that good partly due to him shying away from showing Nat Turner really bossing up against those cacs.

he hasn't carried anything with his own name, the franchise/story of the movie has always been bigger than him as an actor.

Y'all be giving actors props for movies where they literally just doing action sequences, make a stunt actor list then :russell: . The Fruitvale joint was the closest he got and we all know the selling point of that movie wasn't him at all

Nate Parker didn't ruin his career. And Creed was conceptualized before or parallel to Nate's steps towards stardom. Mike was already on board as a partner/catalyst for the franchise.

This is Hollywood now. There is no star under 40 carrying a film with their name because celebrities are too accessible now.

That being said the Creed franchise is as close as it could get.
