“Creed III” is nearly here.The third film in the popular “Rocky” off-shoot will arrive in theaters on March 3, 2023, and this time Michael B. Jordan will both star and direct.
And if the trailer is any indication, it’s going to be a knockout.As the trailer sets up, the new film sees Adonis Creed (Jordan) living his best life – he is an entrepreneur with a loving wife (Tessa Thompson) and son. But then someone from his past, played by the great Jonathan Majors, reemerges, and threatens to take everything.
As you can imagine, they will ultimately settle things in the ring. It looks like a ton of fun, and should this be the end of the “Creed” franchise, seems like it’ll go out on top.
(That, of course, is far from a sure thing, especially given the longevity of the mainline “Rocky” series.)TheWrap attended a press conference with Jordan, who said about his decision to get into directing, “At 35-years-old, I had a lot to say as a young Black man. It was the right time.” Not that he has been sitting idly by; he says that working with directors like original “Creed” and “Black Panther” filmmaker Ryan Coogler (who has a story credit on “Creed III”) and more recently Denzel Washington helped prepare him.

Creed III, starring Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors.
Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed is back in the ring for the third time, and this round is even more personal than the last.On Tuesday, the highly anticipated trailer for the Jordan-led boxing drama was released, and fans finally got a proper introduction to Jonathan Majors' Damian. The film picks up four years after the events of finding Adonis and his wife, Bianca (Tessa Thompson), comfortably successful in their life as they happily raise their daughter, Amara (Mila Davis-Kent) — who was born in the previous installment — in Los Angeles.
Michael B. Jordan versus Jonathan Majors in the first trailer for “Creed III,” and who will win this brawl is anybody’s guess. MGM and United Artists Releasing debuted footage from the upcoming boxing sequel on Tuesday morning. Jordan returns as Adonis “Donnie” Creed, son of Rocky Balboa’s fiercest opponent, Apollo Creed. But the actor isn’t just throwing punches at Majors’ antagonist Damian “Dame” Anderson in the film, “Creed III” also marks Jordan’s directorial debut. Just as “Rocky” star Sylvester Stallone went on to helm four of the franchise’s films, Jordan stakes his own claim behind the camera with an ambitious take on the material.
The debut trailer for Creed III just dropped and it’s putting Michael B. Jordan against Jonathan Majors.
“There’s no enemy like the past,” and the past is certainly catching up with Adonis Creed in “Creed III.” And star Michael B. Jordan is doing triple duty on this film with all of it on his shoulders.
