Whoa, what a night that turned out to be for Michael B Jordan! The 2026 Oscars rolled around, and bam. Before you know it, the man walks up on that stage and walks away with the Best Actor trophy for Sinners. You could tell that it was a big moment for him, and in that moment, he knew his hard work paid off.

Now, the role that brought home that Oscar? Whew… that one’s serious work, and it won’t be wrong to say that we didn’t win one but two Oscars. You might ask how, and the answer is, in Sinners, Jordan pulls double duty as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, and thus technically won it twice. But on a serious note, watching him switch between those brothers hits you right away with the voice changes and shifting attitude. You watch it, and you know that he deserved that Oscar.

And when he stood up there holding that statue… oh man, you could see the emotion right across his face. In fact, his performance in Sinners has been turning heads all through this awards season. Critics and film groups kept praising the role for months, and his name showed up again and again in major nominations. By the time the Academy Awards arrived, a lot of people already had their eyes on him.

All that excitement from the Oscars has now got fans looking around for more of Jordan’s work. Lucky for you, because Netflix has some of his best projects ready to stream right now. A little drama here, a touch of sci-fi there… Basically, enough to keep that Michael B. Jordan energy rolling long after that Oscar win.

All the Michael B Jordan movies and shows on Netflix

Raising Dion (2019–2022)

Alright, let’s start with Raising Dion, because this one is a little different from the usual. At first, it looks like a superhero story… but then you realise it’s really about a kid growing up with powers he barely understands. The series follows Dion, a young boy discovering he can move objects, teleport, and pull off all sorts of wild things one only imagines. His mom, Nicole, is left trying to raise him alone while figuring out what these abilities actually mean.

Now, here is where Michael B Jordan appears in the film. He plays Mark Warren, Dion’s father, and even though he is not physically around for much of the story, his presence hangs over everything. Mark was a scientist who clearly knew more about Dion’s powers than anyone else, and Jordan brings quite a thoughtful energy to the role. Every flashback of his or a recorded message is essential to the story. You watch those moments and realise that this guy was the heart of the whole mystery.

A Journal for Jordan (Denzel Washington, 2021)

Now this one? Whew… get ready, because A Journal for Jordan will catch your emotional side. Here, Michael B Jordan plays Charles Monroe King, who is a soldier deployed to Iraq. Now, this man decides to write a journal for his infant son, which puts Jordan once again on father duty. The idea seems simple at first, but its power is showcased later. Since he might not be there to raise the boy himself, he fills the pages with life lessons like how to be a good man, how to treat people, how to handle heartbreak, the whole deal.

Jordan’s performance here is more restrained than in his big blockbuster roles, but that’s exactly what makes it work. He plays Charles so sincerely that, for a moment there, you completely forget that he is acting. Jordan submerged himself into the character so well as a man who truly wants to leave behind something meaningful. And when those emotional moments land… man, they really land. And since the movie is directed by Denzel Washington, you know how good it can be.

Triple 9 (John Hillcoat, 2016)

Alright, now we switch gears because Triple 9 is more into crime, and Jordon doesn’t play a father here. The story is about corrupt cops and criminals planning a massive heist in Atlanta. Their plan? Create a police emergency (what officers call a “triple nine”) to distract law enforcement long enough to pull off the job. Of course, things get messy, and suddenly everyone’s wondering who is going to make it out alive.

Michael B. Jordan plays Marcus Belmont, and you can tell right away he is not thrilled about the situation he’s caught in. Marcus is tangled up with the wrong people, and Jordan has played that tension really well. You see the conflict on the face of this guy who knows things are going south, but he is stuck in the middle of it. It’s a smaller role compared to his later films, but even the smaller presence has left a significant mark.

Love, Death & Robots (Episode- “Life Hutch”)

Jordan has appeared in only one episode of this show, but the impact he has left… my, my! In the episode called “Life Hutch”, Michael B Jordan plays a pilot named Terrence who crash-lands on a remote planet and takes shelter in an automated survival bunker. Sounds safe enough, right? Well… not exactly.

Inside the shelter, Terrence realises that a malfunctioning maintenance robot has turned into a deadly machine. And now, the place that is supposed to protect him becomes a death trap for him, and from that moment on, the episode turns into a survival game. Since there are barely any characters that depend on him, he has to work alone, and that makes it more difficult. But Jordan has so effortlessly played the character that you don’t need to see more people to make the story interesting.
