A simple birthday greeting may have led to something so much better. Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan has just invited reigning US Open champion Naomi Osaka to the premiere of his new film Creed 2 by posting a truly sexy photo.
Jordan had posted the picture on Twitter in response to Ellen Degeneres' cheeky birthday greeting to the tennis champ. The host of The Ellen Degeneres Show had used an old photo of the shirtless actor so he promptly decided to share something "better and more recent." Take a look at his tweet below.
Osaka had jokingly asked Degeneres to "block" her when she noticed that Jordan was tagged in the original greeting. However, she was understandably excited when the real Erik Killmonger responded to the tweet with a steamier photo. Osaka also wondered if Jordan was serious about the invitation.
It's certainly an exciting development for the two. Let's wait until the premiere of Creed 2 to see if Jordan went through with his invitation.
Although it is unlikely that Jordan will reprise his role as Killmonger in Black Panther 2, there is little doubt that the actor is currently very busy. He has just finished work on the web series gen:LOCK where he provided the voice of Julian Chase. Jordan is currently working on the drama film Just Mercy based on the memoirs of Bryan Stevenson.
Creed 2 will hit theaters on November 21. gen: LOCK is scheduled for release on January 26, 2019.
