Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler are reportedly making a new film together titled Wrong Answer.

Variety is reporting that the twosome will be back together again having previously worked together in 2013 on the movie Fruitvale Station, in which Jordan played the protagonist Oscar Grant.

They later worked on Creed together, where Jordan portayed Adonis Johnson Creed, Apollo Creed's son.

The upcoming drama Wrong Answer will tell the real life story Atlanta public school cheating scandal that occurred in 2006.

It's based upon the New Yorker story of the Atlanta teacher Damany Lewis who took part in the cheating scandal in order to save Parks Middle School, where he worked, from being shut down.

Jordan is set to play the role of Damany, one of the eleven teachers embroiled in the scandal.

But Jordan and Coogler aren't the only big names attached to the project, as Brad Pitt's Plan B production company are also linked to the upcoming movie - though it's not thought the actor will be taking on an acting role.

Ryan Coogler has recently directed the Marvel superhero movie Black Panther, which had reportedly had the fifth-biggest opening weekend ever, beaten only by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Jurassic World and The Avengers.

Michael B. Jordan even recently revealed he secretly snuck into a public screening of the film on the opening night to find out what real audiences made of his role as Erik Killmonger.

Black Panther is out in cinemas now.
