His accolades include an Academy Award, three Actor Awards, and a Producers Guild Award, in addition to nominations for a British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe Award and two Emmy Awards. Jordan was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time in 2020 and 2023, People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2020, and The New York Times ranked him 15th on its list of the 25 greatest actors of the 21st century. Jordan initially broke out in television, playing Wallace in the first season of the HBO crime drama series The Wire (2002). He starred in the ABC soap opera All My Children (2003–2006) and the NBC sports drama series Friday Night Lights (2009–2011). He later starred in and produced the HBO television film Fahrenheit 451 (2018), for which he was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie.

He earned further acclaim for his performances in Coogler's subsequent films, including Creed (2015), Black Panther (2018), and Sinners (2025); the latter earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor. Jordan reprised his role of Donnie Creed in Creed II (2018) and Creed III (2023), the latter of which also marked his directorial debut.

Affleck was a popular choice for the role, and he was attached to write and direct a solo Batman movie, but left the project, citing his desire to expand into roles outside of the DC Extended Universe. As a result, Matt Reeves took over directing duties and cast Robert Pattinson in the upcoming The Batman. But fans still hold out hope Affleck will return to the role, especially in light of the fact that Michael Keaton will be reprising his version of the character in The Flash alongside Ezra Miller, despite Affleck reiterating he won't play Batman again earlier this year. And now, digital artist BossLogic has revealed what a teaser poster for a potential Batfleck solo film could look like if it were to premiere on HBO Max, which will be releasing the Snyder Cut of Justice League. The moody poster uses the HBO logo to illuminate the bat signal, as it hovers above the skyline of Gotham, with Affleck's Batman standing on a rooftop in the foreground. You can see the poster below.
