Michael B. Jordan has a favorite when it comes to vampires in cinematic history. The actor attended the Gotham Film Awards recently in New York City on December 1, 2025. He recalled Eddie Murphy’s role in Vampire in Brooklyn, a horror-comedy, and said it was his favorite. The choice comes as Jordan himself is getting attention for his own vampire work in Sinners.
Michael B. Jordan reveals his favorite on-screen vampire
Michael B. Jordan, when picking out his favorite vampire movie and character, explained (via People), “Vampire in Brooklyn. The world’s last vampire is about to encounter something infinitely more terrifying than himself: Brooklyn.”
Jordan starred as twins named Elijah Moore, also known as Smoke, and Elias Moore, better known as Stack. They confront vampires in a period story setting. The film puts Jordan squarely in vampire territory. Thus, this real-life casting and on-screen action make his appreciation for different takes on the monster understandable.
The official synopsis for Vampire in Brooklyn, starring Eddie Murphy, Michael B Jordan’s favorite vampire story, reads, “Detective Rita Veder is assigned to a baffling serial murder case. After examining the crime scene — a corpse-filled ship found adrift at sea — she meets Maximilian, a smooth-talking Caribbean playboy determined to romance her.”
As for the 2025 Sinners movie, the synopsis reads, “Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.”
Sinners is available to stream on Max and to buy on Prime Video, Fandango At Home, and Apple TV. The movie was released in April this year and was critically appreciated by viewers.
