Creed 3: Cast, a Potential Release Date, and the Storyline of the Sequel to Rocky!

By Willie Neal Last updated Nov 29, 2022

Michael B. Jordan will make a comeback in Creed III as the title fighter Adonis Creed, the son of Apollo Creed, who was murdered by Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. Rocky Balboa helped Creed train, and in the first spin-off movie, which was released in 2015, Creed won the heavyweight championship. The next movie, the first in the series to not include Rocky Balboa, will find Creed facing off against a brand-new foe. Michael B. Jordan, the principal actor in the movie, makes his directorial debut as well.
