- Michael B Jordan revealed that he follows Denzel Washington's advice to maintain privacy, sharing as little of himself as possible on social media or to the press to "create a demand."
- Washington, who directed Jordan in A Journal for Jordan (2021), advised him against overexposure to prevent audiences from seeing him "all week for free."

- Jordan said Coogler told him ‘he thought I was a movie star’ and that the director wanted to show the rest of the world how good an actor he was by making films together.
- Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent praised Jordan’s “movie-star charisma” in a four-star review of Sinners, highlighting its blend of music, supernatural elements, and West African traditions.
