Michael B. Jordan's triumphant run continues with his new Netflix fantasy movie.

After starting his career in the late 1990s as a child actor, Jordan quickly became one of Hollywood's most sought-after stars. The actor eventually reached the zenith of his career when he won an Academy Award for Best Actor for Sinners. Since his acting victory, Jordan hasn't slowed down his acting pursuits, with two movies in 2026.

His first post-Sinners movie is Netflix's animated film, Swapped, in which he voices a brown sea otter who switches bodies with a green-feathered bird. Whereas most of his movies tend to be intense or mature, the PG-rated movie opens a wider audience with younger audiences and families. That has now come as an advantage, with the audience score currently an 87% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a significant improvement from the critics' score of 68%.

On the other hand, Swapped continues Jordan's Rotten Tomatoes streak, where his last four movies scored higher than 85% with audiences on the site. This record has lasted for five years, which started with A Journal for Jordan (95%) and continued with Creed III (95%) and Sinners (96%)
