Michael B. Jordan knows he can't say much about the upcoming "Black Panther" sequel, "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," but that's not stopping fans from asking if they'll see him in the movie.

The 34-year-old actor appeared on the "Jemele Hill is Unbothered" podcast and addressed the possibility of his character, Erik Killmonger, appearing in the sequel despite being fatally wounded in the 2018 film.

While Jordan was unable to provide a concrete answer if his character somehow survived and would appear in future films, he did remark, "If there’s anyone that’s going to figure it out, [director Ryan Coogler] is going to figure it out."

The "Just Mercy" star also revealed how Chadwick Boseman's death impacted the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor, who played King T'Challa aka Black Panther, died at age 43 last year after a silent, yearslong battle with colon cancer.

"Having a tragedy we are all dealing with, like losing Chadwick, I think Marvel, [Kevin] Fiege, Ryan [Coogler] and everybody over there had to figure out what was next," he said. "I haven’t gotten the information, one way or another, so I’m not sure. But, whatever it is, they’re the right people to figure it out."

On the subject of grief, Jordan also opened up about his new movie "Without Remorse," which features him playing an elite Navy SEAL seeking to avenge the murder of his pregnant wife.

The actor said his co-star, Lauren London, was mourning the loss of rapper Nipsey Hussle, her boyfriend and father of their 4-year-old son Kross, when filming started.

Jordan applauded London for channelling her grief into a standout performance, saying, "It was very emotional. She was really transparent. She’s very talented and has so much to give."

Marvel is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and "Good Morning America."
