Is this your King? Definitely. Michael B. Jordan has ascended into Tinseltown royalty off the strength of his regal acting and proven bankability with successful franchises of “Creed” and “Black Panther.”

Today it was announced that Jordan will reunite with the man who produced his breakthrough film “Fruitvale Station,” for another potential blockbuster.

Gerard McMurray will write and direct Jordan in “The Silver Bear,” an action thriller centered around a hitman with an infamous reputation. The film is coming out through a joint venture with Nickel Pictures and Lion’s Gate. Jordan is also locked in as a producer through his Outlier Society company.

“Fruitvale Station changed our lives,” McMurray said in a released statement to the press this morning. “Six years later I’m reuniting with Michael in 2019 and directing him in one of the most exciting and intelligent kick-ass action projects Hollywood and Lionsgate has cooking.  It’s beyond dreams. Michael is an amazing, one-of-a-kind talent. He will bring a chilling and unnerving edge, authenticity and precision to the character of Columbus. The ‘Silver Bear’ is an incredible hunt-and-chase story about the most skilled and feared hitman in the underworld and I have a unique vision for how I want to bring that to life.  I am beyond honored and excited to be working with such supportive partners as Outlier Society, Nickel City Pictures and Lionsgate on my next film.”

“Every step forward on The Silver Bear has been the perfect marriage of the material to the creative talent involved. We could not be more amazed by the way this project has come together, especially with Gerard McMurray’s bold, creative vision for the movie and Michael B. Jordan’s immense skills as an actor and a producer,” added Lionsgate Motion Picture Group President Nathan Kahane. “We are confident the right team is in place to do something very special with Derek Haas’ action-packed, suspense-filled novel and are thrilled to be collaborating with daring filmmakers like Gerard, Michael and the team at Nickel City Pictures. As we re-energize our slate with films like this, Lionsgate intends to be a home where artists can bring and make their very best movies.”

McMurray is becoming white hot in Hollywood in his own right, with a string of hits as he’s transitioned into the director’s chair. He was the visionary behind “The First Purge” (the most profitable film in that franchise’s history), as well as the critically embraced “Burning Sands” Netflix original. Next on his slate is the new “Twilight Zone” reboot series, which fans are clamoring to see. McMurray’s production partner from the award winning “Fruitvale Station,” Ephraim Walker, will work on “The Silver Bear” as well.

“We are very excited by the addition of Gerard to direct ‘The Silver Bear,'" said Nickel City Pictures’ Vishal Rungta. “From the first meeting, it was clear that Gerard was the right person to realize the potential of the underlying material and is a perfect match for Michael’s talent and charisma. This combination will deliver an interesting, layered action film that today’s audience will love,”

Meanwhile, Jordan continues to keep a full schedule as both actor and producer. Outlier Society launched in late 2016 and are developing projects “Gen:Lock,” “Raising Dion,” and “David Makes Man.”

“The Silver Bear’s” release date has not yet been announced.
