Michael B. Jordan's Killmonger Scars For Black Panther Were Inspired By Denzel Washington
Marvel made history last year with the release of Black Panther -- a monumental achievement for box office records, diversity in Hollywood, and superhero flicks. Michael B. Jordans Erik Killmonger especially stood out, as his intricate villain showcased tragic commentary about the black experience.
Apparently, the character's iconic crocodile scarring -- which signifies each one of Killmongers murders over the years -- was actually inspired by one of Denzel Washingtons famed roles. While the legendary actor was being given an honor at the 47th AFI Life Achievement Gala, Michael B. Jordan spoke of the inspiration. In Jordan's words:
I remember hearing stories about you and I heard stories that when you were huddled around the campfire in that film [Glory], you werent supposed to be shirtless but you still had the scars put on your back, so you could feel it, so you could know thats what your characters been through. I tell you right now tonight, brother, thats the only reason why Killmonger, when I played that role, I had those scars, even when I wasnt shirtless -- because of you. So I want to say thank you for that.
Looks like Black Panther owes some of its influence to Denzel Washingtons role of Silas Trip in 1989s Glory. The Civil War drama that earned Washington his first Oscar has the actor playing a soldier with scars on his back to show the violent punishments Silas received as a slave. As Michael B. Jordan said at the annual gala (via EW), hed heard Washington asked to have Silas don the scars in the scenes to impact the audience more deeply about the movies chronicle of slave soldiers fighting for their freedom.
Black Panther took a note from Glory in this regard by showing the characters pain through his own scars on his back and chest. Theres something especially visceral about seeing all the kills Michael B. Jordans character has physically on him. It creates this additional feeling and rawness to the villain that certainly contributed to Killmonger delivering one of the best performances in a comic book movie.
Denzel Washington has previously praised Black Panther, revealing he cried the first time he watched it at the films premiere. The actor said, as he sat in the audience, he felt the weight of the film on Hollywood that he had never seen in his 40-year career. Washington is certainly one of the most successful black actors to date, but one of a select few who have made it that far in the game.
Denzel Washington once revealed that Marvel has never approached him for a role, but teased his interest with the words "never say never." Wouldn't it be great to see him in Black Panther 2? Michael B. Jordans presence in the planned sequel to be written and directed by Ryan Coogler is unclear, considering his fate at the end of first movie.
But who knows? Considering the events of Avengers: Endgame, perhaps his fate will be retconned? Stay tuned with us here on CinemaBlend for more MCU updates as they come!

John Wick: Chapter 2 introduced a ton of new characters to the mix, but the coolest was hands down Cassian, the rival assassin played by Common. He was the only character who could go toe-to-toe with John Wick (Keanu Reeves), but it sounds like the two of them won't be getting a rematch in John Wick 3: Parabellum .

Although Gal Gadot's involvement in Ralph Breaks the Internet was only made public last month, it takes a long time to put together an animated movie, and since Shank is being framed as one of the more important characters in the movie, it's a good bet that the actress recorded her part long before then.
