Michael B Jordan released a statement on the February 1 death of co-star Carl Weathers. Here’s what he said.
Although Michael B. Jordan and Carl Weathers didn’t appear together in the Creed films, their casting ties couldn’t be any closer. Carl is best known for his role as Apollo Creed in the legendary Rocky films of the 1970s and 80s, and Michael went on to play his son, Adonis Creed, in the three Creed films — the latest of which was released in 2023. After a legendary career, Carl died at the age of 76 on February 1, 2024.
Michael, 36, shared a brief but heartfelt message via Instagram Stories on Friday. Alongside a repost of a portrait of Carl, Michael wrote, “We lost a legend,” along with two dove emojis.
