In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the "Creed" actor said Hollywood is moving with the times when it comes to cultural diversity.
"It's the best time to be a person of colour in Hollywood who's creative and has original projects. Everybody wants that right now. That's how I feel - I feel it's a timing thing. I'm ambitious," said Jordan.
"I see what actors I look up to have, the types of platforms they have and their ability to create and tell stories they want - I want that. Why not?" he added.
