Michael B. Jordan to Receive Career Retrospective at Gala Event

The American Cinematheque will honor actor and filmmaker Michael B. Jordan with a career retrospective at its annual gala on November 20, 2025. This event, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, will celebrate Jordan’s significant contributions to cinema, culminating in a special screening of his latest film, Sinners, presented in 70mm format.

The retrospective will highlight key performances from Jordan’s career, with screenings scheduled over the weeks leading to the gala. Fans can anticipate watching his breakthrough role in Fruitvale Station on November 5, followed by Creed on November 7, Just Mercy on November 14, and Black Panther on November 15. The main event will be the screening of Sinners on November 22, featuring both Ryan Coogler, the film’s director, and Jordan himself in attendance.

This gala marks a significant recognition for Jordan, who has established himself not only as a talented actor but also as a director and producer. His recent directorial debut with Creed III and upcoming project, a remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, showcases his expanding influence in the film industry. In addition to his artistic achievements, Jordan has been acknowledged as a TIME 100 honoree and received the Academy Museum Vanguard Award.

The American Cinematheque Awards ceremony will take place at The Beverly Hilton and serves as an annual fundraiser for the non-profit organization. This organization supports year-round programming at various venues, including the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, the Los Feliz 3 Theatre in Los Feliz, and the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.

Previous recipients of the American Cinematheque Award include notable figures such as Spike Lee, Ryan Reynolds, Reese Witherspoon, Ridley Scott, Amy Adams, Helen Mirren, and last year’s honoree, Jessica Chastain.
