Following the events of Creed II, Adonis “Donnie” Creed is finally thriving in his career and family life, but something changes once his childhood friend Damian “Dame” Anderson (Jonathan Majors) resurfaces after years in prison. The former boxing prodigy is eager to return to the ring and prove his worth – and Donnie is the only one standing in his way.

In addition to playing the lead role, Jordan also made his feature directorial debut with Creed III and described it as the most challenging thing he’s done so far.

“For me it was the perfect time, growing up on set and in the industry for over 20 years… I finally got to this place in my career where I wanted to tell a story and not just be in front of the camera, not just execute somebody else’s vision,” Jordan told reporters before virtually previewing the trailer.

In addition to Jordan and Majors, Creed III also stars Tessa Thompson, Wood Harris, Florian Munteanu, and Phylicia Rashad. It’s set to premiere on March 3, 2023, after several major delays.

Creed star Tessa Thompson confirmed the news during an interview with MTV’s Josh Horowitz, “He is directing the next Creed,” adding that she’ll be using Jordan’s status as People’s Sexiest Man Alive against him. “It’s going to be ammo, I think, for me when he is engaging with me as a director. I’m just going to tell him to dial down the sexiness.”

“What’s so interesting, I think, is that there’s this enduring thing with [the franchise] being about the underdog,” Thompson told EW of the Rocky and Creed series. “I feel like, in each of the movies, there’s always someone behind the lens or in front of the camera that has something to prove just like the central character of the film. That’s sort of embedded into the DNA of the movie and is something that resonates with audiences.”

Creed III is set to start filing in 2021. It’s still unclear is Rocky Balboa’s Sylvester Stallone will be joining the film. Stallone stared in all eight films and directed four instalments.
