It\u2019s a limited series that will really dive into the life of Muhammad Ali. I\u2019m not going to be too specific beyond that, but we\u2019ll be able to get to know him in ways we haven\u2019t had a chance to before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cI\u2019m really excited about it, as a boxing enthusiast and since this is the world I\u2019ve been living in the past five or six years with the <em>Creed<\/em> franchise. To be able to honor Muhammad Ali and elaborate on his legacy is something I\u2019m really excited about, and I know Jen (Amazon Studios CEO) and Amazon are as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Michael B.

It\u2019s going to give more of a 360-degree view of who he was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd no, I\u2019m not playing that guy, I can say that for sure, and we are still in [the] early stages here and can\u2019t say too much. We are still putting the pieces together, but it feels like something to look forward to in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With music provided by Roc Nation, the label could take the opportunity to build a giant original soundtrack in the vein of Kendrick Lamar\u2019s <em>Black Panther: The Album<\/em>, Mike WiLL Made-It\u2019s <em>Creed II: The Album<\/em> and Hit-Boy\u2019s <em>Judas and the Black Messiah: The Inspired Album<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Hov\u2019s\u00a0presence in the TV and film industry continues to grow between his involvement in upcoming Netflix movies <em>Forty Acres<\/em> and <em>The Harder They Fall<\/em> starring Idris Elba, Zazie Beetz, Lakeith Stanfield and Regina King, as well as a six-episode ABC series\u00a0<em>Women of the Movement<\/em>, which follows the story of Emmett Till\u2019s mother Mamie Till.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan previously starred in Jay\u2019s Beyonc\u00e9-featured video for \u201cFamily Feud\u201d alongside an all-star cast including Rashida Jones, Jessica Chastain, Rosario Dawson, Brie Larson, Thandie Newton and Mindy Kaling.<\/p>\n<p>Revisit the \u201cFamily Feud\u201d visual below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"JAY-Z - Family Feud ft.
