Michael B. Jordan’s Sinners Spotlight Grows With Palm Springs Honor and Streaming Push

Jordan details the personal process behind his dual turn.

Overview

  • At the Palm Springs International Film Awards, Jordan received the Icon Award for Sinners and said he kept a lighter, grills, hats, dice, and cigarettes from the set to remember his characters.
  • Sinners casts Jordan as twin brothers in a 1930s vampire‑tinged story that engages with Jim Crow–era history and the power of family ties.
  • The film is now streaming on HBO Max and has earned Jordan nominations at the Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globes.
  • Jordan said he initially felt anxious about taking on both roles, later grounding the performances in his family roots.
  • He reflected on going to therapy to decompress after playing Black Panther’s Erik Killmonger and said he is currently editing his directing project The Thomas Crown Affair.
