Michael B. Jordan Brings “Smoke” And “Stack” To ‘Sinners’ NYC Premiere

Michael B. Jordan doubled down on his role of “Smoke” and “Stack” at the NYC premiere of his and Ryan Coogler‘s Sinners film on Thursday night (April 3). Delivering not one but two red carpet looks, the 38-year-old actor pulled off a slick outfit change mid-event at Manhattan’s AMC Lincoln Square, playfully posing twice and even giving a joint interview.

Sinners is a vampire thriller that sees Jordan take on the challenge of playing identical twin brothers, Smoke and Stack. Jordan’s characters attempt to leave behind their troubled past by returning home for a fresh start—only to be met by an even greater evil lurking in the shadows. To distinguish between the twins, Jordan’s first look included a tailored navy blue and black suit with grills on his side teeth. For his second look, he sported a brown leather ensemble with black shades.

Among the red carpet were the film’s stars including writer-director Ryan Coogler as well as Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Li Jun Li, Jayme Lawson, Omar Benson Miller, Delroy Lindo, and more. Others celebs in attendance included Danielle Brooks, Les Twins, Loren Lott, Millyz, Ludwig Göransson, Benny Boom and others, amongst his supportive mother, brother, and sister Jamila Jordan.

Jordan told The Hollywood Reporter on the carpet that the biggest challenge of playing twins “was the technicality of how we shot both characters.” He added, “I did every scene like four times, fives times, so I think the balance between going back and forth was difficult at times but you find a rhythm and after a while it was second nature. I had a lot of fun.”
