Academy Award winner Michael B. Jordan also took the stage to share progress on three series he is producing for Amazon. He kicked things off with "The Greatest," a biographical series about the late boxing legend Muhammad Ali that has been in development since 2024. Jordan presented a short sizzle reel that was met with an enthusiastic response from the audience.

Next, Jordan confirmed that the "Creed" spinoff series, "Delphi," is set to officially begin filming on May 18. Lastly, he provided an update on "Fourth Wing," an adaptation of the fantasy novel of the same name. Jordan revealed that after three years in development, Amazon has officially ordered the first season, with "Fallout" co-creator Lisa Joy attached to direct the premiere episode. Jordan had secured the adaptation rights even before the novel was published.
