It's weird how people act like star power is bringing viewers to theaters. I haven't seen the movie, but I will, and I'm sure he's good in it. But I'll see it because it looks like a great movie, not because I want to see the latest Michael B. Jordan film. I'm old enough to remember a time when an actor's name would sell tickets, but that was ages ago.

You’re right but also this is just his agent/PR team marketing him

Yup this isn’t even news or anything worthwhile to read. It’s just advertisement.
