Michael B. Jordan spoke at length about his directing process with Jimmy Fallon. He mentioned during the interview that his ''team is everything.'' He further stated:
''So, to be able to be in the middle of a boxing scene, honestly, it's sometimes easier, because I can direct while I'm acting, you know? If I needed to move you upstage a little bit, I just move a little bit like this (shows how he moves), and then I get the shot that I need.''
Jordan continued:
''Cause I'm already - I'm kind of low-key cheating, 'cause I'm, like, editing while I'm actually acting a little bit.''
Michael B. Jordan said that he also spoke to a number of other directors like Denzel Washington, Ryan Coogler, Steven Caple, Jon Favreau, and Bradley Cooper. He said that they all gave him ''great advice.''
He further mentioned that ''one of the greatest advices'' he ever got was from Bradley Cooper and Jon Favreau. Jordan said:
''They were basically like, 'get your first shot off as quickly as possible.' Like, it's one of the - it's one of the - it can slow down your entire day, you know. If you don't get that first shot off very early, you're probably not going to make your day. So as soon as you get it off, the train is rolling.''
