On the red carpet for the premiere of his new Netflix animated movie Swapped on Sunday, April 26, Michael B. Jordan said that he is currently storing his Academy Award trophy in his closet

Jordan won his first career Oscar on March 15 for his performance as the twins Smoke and Stack in last year's smash vampire thriller Sinners

Swapped is on Netflix May 1; Jordan is currently working on his next movie as a director, The Thomas Crown Affair

Over a month has passed since Michael B. Jordan won his first Academy Award, but he does not know where to display the trophy permanently.

"Right now, it's, uhh — right now it's in my closet. It's in my closet right now," Jordan, 39, told E! News with a grin on the red carpet at the Sunday, April 26 premiere of Netflix's new animated movie Swapped, when asked where he keeps the trophy he won on March 15. "It's one of them things that, I don't know, you don't really know where to put it, you know. It's kind of moved around to a bunch of different places."

"But it's off," he added, while moving his right hand to the side to indicate that his Best Actor Oscar win is no longer at the top of his mind. "[I'm] focused on the next thing right now."

Jordan and his frequent collaborator Ryan Coogler found significant success with moviegoers and Oscars voters with last year's hit vampire thriller Sinners, which won four Academy Awards — including Jordan's Best Actor win — at the 2026 Oscars on March 15.

Jordan also won an Actor Award for his dual performance in the movie as the twin protagonists Smoke and Stack on March 1, in what amounted to a late-breaking awards season success story and the first major film industry awards he has won in his career.

Moving forward, Jordan is lending his voice to the new Netflix animated movie Swapped, in which he portrays a woodland creature named Ollie who accidentally swaps bodies with a bird named Ivy (Juno Temple), Ollie's natural enemy.

PEOPLE confirmed that Jordan would direct and star in a remake of The Thomas Crown Affair in 2024. The movie is a remake of the original 1968 movie that starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, which also received a 1999 remake starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. Jordan made his directorial debut in 2023 when he directed and starred in Creed III, which made history as the biggest domestic opening for a sports film ever in North America.

The actor is also embarking on his second movie as a director with next year's The Thomas Crown Affair, and multiple outlets reported on April 22 that he and Austin Butler are officially set to star in a new version of Miami Vice titled Miami Vice '85, inspired by the 1980s television series that Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas starred in.

Prior to Swapped's premiere, Jordan most recently appeared at CinemaCon 2026 in Las Vegas on April 15 to debut a trailer for The Thomas Crown Affair that has not yet been released publicly. He and Adria Arjona costar in the romantic crime thriller.

"I've been daydreaming about making this movie for years," Jordan said onstage, according to Entertainment Weekly, sharing that he first saw the 1999 version of Thomas Crown when he was 12 years old and thought to himself, "I wanna be in a movie like that one day."

The Thomas Crown Affair is in theaters on March 7, 2027, while Miami Vice '85 won't be out until May 2028. Swapped is on Netflix May 1.
