Deadline exclusively reported that Jordan is working closely with Amazon to develop various Creed-related projects, potentially spanning both film and TV. These projects are still in exploratory stages, but Amazon is reportedly getting more serious about them in the wake of Creed III’s big debut.

MGM is already plotting a new Creed spinoff Drago, written by Robert Lawton, but there’s a lot of chatter about a few more projects. According to Deadline, Amazon is also eying an anime and live-action series connected to the Rocky spinoff, and a potential project centering on Adonis Creed’s daughter Amara, played by Mila Davis-Kent in Creed III.

The original Creed itself is a spin-off of the Rocky film series, and it shifts focus to the son of Apollo Creed, Rocky Balboa’s former rival turned friend. The first Ryan Coogler-directed film was such a huge hit that it spawned an entire franchise, including the latest third installment, which serves as Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut.

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.

Men’s Health reveals that in his book, A Life in Movies: Stories from 50 Years in Hollywood, the producer of both Creed films and the original Rocky series wrote that he promised Jordan the job. “Last year in a conversation with our Creed star Michael B. Jordan, I offered him the opportunity to not only star in, but also to direct Creed 3,” he wrote.

Jordan was also asked about the future of the series during the premiere of Just Mercy and told Entertainment Tonight that Creed 3 will definitely happen. The actor didn’t reveal any other details though.

In 2015, the first Creed movie became one of the most popular films of the year. It became the highest-ranked movie of the Rocky franchise on Rotten Tomatoes – surpassing even the original. Creed 2 was released in 2018 and garnered some criticism about its storyline but was generally well-received.

The news about Creed’s sequel was announced in January 2016, when Stallone and the MGM studios both confirmed that Creed 2 is in the works. Stallone will return in his role as Rocky Balboa, while Michael B. Jordan will reprise his role of Adonis Creed. It was even hinted that Milo Ventimiglia is set to make an appearance as Balboa’s son. Ventimiglia previously portrayed the same role in 2006’s Rocky Balboa (Rocky VI). The initial release date of the movie was November 2017, but it was later pushed back to an indefinite date in 2018.

Released in 2015, Creed is the spin-off to the Rocky series. Although met with skepticism before the release, Creed made a strong case at the box office, earning $173.6 million compared to the $40 million initial budget. The movie was also a success with the critics, who described it as a fresh start for the franchise that also stayed true to the roots.

Sylvester Stallone was particularly praised for his portrayal of aged boxing coach Rocky Balboa. Stallone received numerous awards and recognition for the role, including the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. He also received an Academy Award nomination for the Best Supporting Actor but lost it to Mark Rylance.
