Come 2027, Michael B. Jordan may be focusing on something other than the big screen.
The “Sinners” star has enjoyed another standout year in Hollywood. From earning Best Actor honors for his dual performance as twins Smoke and Stack in the hit film to lining up several major projects, Jordan has barely slowed down.
Now, the actor says he is preparing to do exactly that.
After years of talking about taking a breather, Jordan says those plans are coming sooner rather than later.
He is currently busy filming the modern revival of “Miami Vice” and producing “Delphi,” while the first part of 2027 will focus on promoting “The Thomas Crown Affair.”
After that, however, he intends to hit the brakes. “I’ll probably take the rest of next year off,” the “Creed” star told Vogue during a recent interview.
Jordan explained that the downtime will allow him to slow down and take stock of everything he has accomplished. “That’s probably when I’m going to do more reflecting and processing of all of this,” the 39-year-old shared.
Fresh off a major awards-season triumph, Jordan admitted he has been constantly on the move as his career continues to reach new heights.
He also teased that his future could take an unexpected turn, joking that he may one day “quit it all and make anime for the rest” of his life.
A Look At Michael B. Jordan’s Upcoming Projects
Even with a break on the horizon, Jordan still has a packed slate ahead. The Blast previously reported that he will take on the role of Ricardo Tubbs, a character made famous by Philip Michael Thomas in the original NBC crime drama that aired from 1984 to 1990.
The film will explore both the glamour and darker side of mid-1980s Miami and draw inspiration from the show’s early seasons. Joseph Kosinski is directing the project, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters on August 6, 2027.
Jordan is also stepping behind the camera for the second time with a romantic heist adventure in which he will also star. Speaking about the project, he described it as “big, international, sexy, and full of surprises,” hinting at twists audiences won’t see coming.
The ‘Swapped’ Actor Can’t Get Over His Latest Accomplishment
Despite looking ahead to new ventures, Jordan is still enjoying the excitement surrounding his Oscar victory.
During Amazon’s CinemaCon presentation earlier this year, he was introduced as an Academy Award Winner, and was all smiles.
“I don’t think that will ever get old,” the “Fantastic Four” actor gushed about it even though it has been months since he took the honor.
As expected, fans celebrated his accomplishments. Per The Blast, one fan wrote, “Much respect. Of course, it shouldn’t get old, and other actors feel the same way. Congratulations to MBJ again for an epic and well-deserved win!”

While fans believe Jordan deserved the win, his colleague, Jamie Foxx, felt the same.
Foxx did not hide his feelings after Jordan recognized him among the Black performers who had previously reached the same career milestone during his acceptance speech.
The Blast reported that Foxx later took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute, expressing both his pride and admiration for Jordan’s continued success.
In the “Django Unchained” star’s caption, he wrote, “Words can’t express how proud I am of you. You deserve this and so much more. Congratulations, my brother.”
Michael B. Jordan Reacts To David Jonsson Leading The Next ‘Black Panther’
Jordan has also shared his excitement about the future of the Marvel DC Comics franchise following reports that David Jonsson will lead the upcoming third installment.
The Oscar-winning performer famously portrayed Erik Killmonger in 2018’s part before reprising the character in “Wakanda Forever.”
Speaking on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” Jordan couldn’t hide his enthusiasm when asked about Jonsson’s casting.
“Oh, I love it. It’s amazing! I can’t wait, can’t wait!” he said, according to The Blast.
Jonsson, best known for his performances in “Alien: Romulus” and “Industry”, is expected to portray the adult son of King T’Challa and Nakia, a character originally played by the late Chadwick Boseman.
