The Intense Process Michael B. Jordan Went Through To Wear Erik Killmonger’s Scars In Black Panther

As we learned a few weeks back, Black Panther introduces Erik Killmonger as an American-born blck-ops soldier who has traveled around the world hired to end revolutions, destabilize governments, and generally cause chaos. He sets his sights on Wakanda during the events of the film, but also always carries his past with him. When I asked Michael B. Jordan about the precise number of scars that Killmonger wears, a.k.a. the number of people that he has personally killed, the actor couldn't give me a precise number, but offered that it was somewhere around 2,200 -- making him one of the world's most prolific murderers.
