Michael B. Jordan apparently has his eyes set on a Best Supporting Actor Oscar Nomination.

When you sign up on a movie with Christian Bale that’s being directed and written by David O. Russell clearly there are awards aspirations on the horizon.

I love it. I love that he’s expanding his acting portfolio.

He can do action movies like Creed, superhero movies like Black Panther, and dramas like Fruitvale Station and Just Mercy.

If Michael B. Jordan is ready to start sprinkling in more traditional “Oscar bait” type movies I’m here for it.

Michael B. Jordan has joined Christian Bale and Margot Robbie in David O. Russell’s untitled new film at New Regency.

Russell will direct from his own script. Plot details are being kept under wraps.

Executive are hoping to start production in the spring. Matthew Budman (“Joy,” “American Hustle”) is producing.

Russell was nominated for directing and screenplay Oscars for both “American Hustle” and “Silver Linings Playbook.” His most recent directing effort was Jennifer Lawrence’s 2015 drama “Joy” for Fox.
