Michael B. Jordan established himself as one of the biggest Hollywood stars of his generation, and he’s poised to have another amazing year. CinemaCon will celebrate his accomplishments by bestowing him with the Male Star of the Year Award.

Mitch Neuhauser, managing director of CinemaCon, said that the young actor has been on their radar ever since Fruitvale Station, a breakout role that proved he’s a force to be reckoned with.

“With his dynamic performances in a wide range of roles from Adonis Creed in the Creed films to Erik Killmonger in Black Panther and everything in between, Jordan has shown that he brings a depth of passion and dedication to telling a story like no other,” said Neuhauser in a statement.

CinemaCon 2020 will take place between March 30th and April 2nd at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Jordan will receive his trophy at the CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards, taking place on the closing night.

Jordan recently appeared in legal drama Just Mercy, and he’s currently attached to several exciting projects, including the Tom Clancy adaptation Without Remorse, and Ryan Coogler’s next film Wrong Answer.
