Black Panther's Michael B Jordan to adopt 'inclusion rider' for projects

Black Panther actor Michael B Jordan will adopt a diversity clause for projects made by his production company.

He said he was committing to using the "inclusion rider" for all work made by Outlier Society.

It's a clause in an actor's contract in which they ask or demand that projects have a diverse cast and crew.

In an Instagram post he said he was doing it "in support of the women and men who are leading this fight."

Michael B Jordan plays villain Erik Killmonger in the superhero movie Black Panther.

The film has been praised for being the first Hollywood superhero movie to have a predominately black cast.

The term "inclusion rider" was a big feature at the Oscars after being used by Frances McDormand at the end of her best actress acceptance speech.
