Michael B. Jordan Heroically Commits To Inclusion Riders

He wasn't exactly a superhero in Black Panther, yet Michael B. Jordan is becoming one in real life. Just one day right after he recommended to replace a fan's retainer right following the sight of his body on screen caused it to crumble, the actor and producer reported that he's taking steps to do something that will benefit even more people by adopting inclusion riders.


In a Instagram post on Wednesday (March 7), Jordan announced that his production organization, Outlier Society, will be incorporating the contractual requirement for adequate racial and gender representation on set — recently pushed into the public sphere by Frances McDormand — into almost every one of its film and TV projects.


"In support of the females & males who are leading this fight, I'll be adopting the Inclusion Rider for all assignments produced by my corporation Outlier Society. I’ve been privileged to work with powerful woman & persons of color while in my career & it’s Outlier’s mission continue to make for talented individuals going forward," Jordan wrote, allocating a link to the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative in his bio for more information.


Outlier Society currently has a couple of assignments in the works, including Raising Dion, a Netflix sci-fi family member drama, a reboot of The Thomas Crown Affair, and an adaptation of David Barclay Moore's novel The Stars Beneath Our Feet, which will serve as Jordan's directorial debut. Don't be also surprised once these assignments feature a cast and crew diverse because the world we live in.
