New Movie Starring Michael B. Jordan Is Being Filmed In Louisiana

Michael B. Jordan is working on another Ryan Coogler film. The dynamic duo came to Louisiana and began production in April on their latest big-budget movie. They're calling the movie "Grilled Cheese," however, likely, that's not the real name. Understandably, the film crew was tight-lipped about the plot but comicbook.news got a few details for us.

Word has it, the movie could be some kind of Marvel film. It appears to be an action/thriller that's said to be about a vampire that dates back to the 1930s with scenes from the 90s as well. It sounds exciting and if it's anything like what the two stars have done in the past, "Grilled Cheese." This is going to be another blockbuster!

So far, Michael B. has starred and scored movie gold in other Ryan Coogler films like "Creed," "Black Panther," and "Wakanda Forever."
