\n\tMichael B. Jordan<\/a> was among the closing acts at Amazon<\/a>\u2018s upfront presentation to advertisers Monday at the Beacon Theatre in New York. And this particular appearance was not about the Oscar winner\u2019s next big acting gig, but about his growing role as a producer.<\/p>\n

\n\tTowards the end of the event, Jordan unveiled details about a trio of TV shows he is producing for Prime Video, including Muhammad Ali biographical series \u201cThe Greatest,\u201d \u201cCreed\u201d spinoff \u201cDelphi\u201d and \u201cFourth Wing<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJordan was introduced by Amazon head of TV Peter Friedlander and film chief Courtenay Valenti, who touted the studio\u2019s \u201cexpansive relationship\u201d with Jordan and his young production company, Outlier Society<\/a>, which is run by president Elizabeth Raposo.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cSinners\u201d star then took the stage and first spoke about his passion for telling the story of boxing legend Ali with the new show, \u201cThe Greatest,\u201d which marks the first-ever project about Ali\u2019s life authorized by his estate. Created by Ben Watkins, the show will follow Ali from his roots as Cassius Clay through his iconic career with the wife of the late Ali, Lonnie Ali, serving as consultant. Ali joined Jordan to talk about the project, her trust in Jordan and his team, and about finding Jaalen Best, the young actor who will take on the leading role. Jordan brought Best out on stage before showing a brief sizzle reel that teased \u201cThe Greatest.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tNext up was \u201cDelphi,\u201d which Jordan is making alongside frequent collaborator Ryan Coogler. Jordan reflected on when Coogler first asked him to play the role of Adonis Creed, the son of the iconic \u201cRocky\u201d character Apollo Creed. Jordan then announced that \u201cDelphi\u201d will begin production in Los Angeles May 18 and brought out showrunner Marco Ramirez.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd last but not least, Jordan announced that the TV series adaptation of author Rebecca Yarros\u2019 best-selling romantasy \u201cFourth Wing\u201d has been ordered to series<\/a>. Jordan\u2019s Outlier Society snapped up the rights to \u201cThe Empyrean\u201d series of books before Yarros had even published the first novel, \u201cFourth Wing,\u201d in May 2023 and then brought it to Amazon, where it has been in development since. Now, the \u201cFourth Wing\u201d TV series is ready to move forward with Yarros and Jordan executive producing alongside showrunner Meredith Averill and \u201cWestworld\u2019s\u201d Lisa Joy (who will direct the first episode), who all came out on stage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael B.
