All of them are quintessential Evil or anti-heroes with very interesting qualities. Some of them are shared, which is necessary when taking the baton.

United States.- With Creed III, first-time director, and main star, Michael B. Jordan has made clear his intentions to take the franchise in a new direction. When the spin-off of Sylvester Stallone's sports drama Rocky was announced, fans were skeptical, but Jordan came through, winning the hearts of fans and spinning a new franchise as Adonis "Donnie" Creed, son of a best friend. From Rocky, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). With the third installment, the anticipation and excitement are undoubtedly quite high.
Next year Creed III will land in movie theaters, the new installment of the Rocky Balboa spin-off saga that will bring back Michael B. Jordan (No Regrets, A Question of Justice, A Diary for Jordan) in the role of Adonis Creed, besides being on this occasion the director of the film.
At the beginning of 2023, Creed III will land in theaters, the third installment of the Rocky Balboa spin-off saga that will bring back Michael B. Jordan (No Regrets, A Question of Justice, A Diary for Jordan) in the role of Adonis Creed, in addition to being on this occasion the director of the film.
At 33 years old, the Californian actor Jonathan Majors scores an achievement that few movie stars successfully achieve: starring in three films during the first quarter of the year.
Right now, you can see him piloting a fighter plane in Devotion, where he plays Jesse LeRoy Brown, the first African-American naval aviator in the United States Navy. While on Thursday, February 16, Majors will return to the big screen as Khan, the Conqueror, the villain of the Marvel Studios multiverse saga in the film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. And finally, less than a month later, on Thursday, March 2, he will step into the ring as the antagonist of Creed III, starring and now also directed by Michael B. Jordan.
After dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed has been successful in his career and family life. When childhood friend and former boxing prodigy Damian (Jonathan Majors) is released from prison, he's excited to prove he deserves a chance in the ring. The meeting between the two will be more than just a fight. To settle scores, Adonis will have to put his future at risk and fight Damian: a fighter with nothing to lose.
Creed III, Michael B. Jordan's epic sequel, has been pushed back to 2023. The upcoming Creed sequel (and the ninth film in the Rocky franchise) was originally expected to release on November 23 but has now been pushed back to March 3, 2023.
Jordan reprises his role as Adonis Creed, the son of Rocky's legendary opponent, Apollo Creed. But this time, Jordan will also get behind the camera, making his directorial debut.
"Rocky" is one of those movies that will remain in cinema history. After the movie saga with Sylvester Stallone as Rocky, the legacy has continued with actor Michael B. Jordan in Creed. Corey Calliet, his trainer, has explained some details of the diet and training used so that Jordan shows an enviable physique in the poster and the advance of Creed III, which will be released on March 3, 2023.
The reason could be a dispute between Stallone and producer Irwin Winkler, who kept the rights to the character. It is said that the protagonist of the saga did not want to pay those rights to once again put the boxer on the big screen. At the time, Stallone received $75,000 for the rights to this story that he created himself.
Not too long ago, the Rocky franchise has been increasing the number of installments that deal with his universe since the story of Adonis Creed will continue for a while longer. We have talked long and hard about what Creed 3 will mean for the entire franchise since we will see the one who has been the protagonist to date as the main antagonist, but today we do not have to focus on the plot.
It is his way of synthesizing the process by which he has tried to transform his character not only into the ideal heir to all the Marvel supervillains that have come before him but also into his natural evolution. For Majors, Kang the Conqueror should be relevant if he wants to be intimidating: "Our generation, what we stand for, what Evil with a capital E means to us. What are our children, our partners, and our leaders going to see? What do our zeitgeist, I open and close quotes, need? And Marvel, in my opinion, has the biggest platform in the entertainment world, so Big Bad has to represent many things and be connected to many things. So I read the newspapers, read history books, talked to people, noticed my son, and talked to my partner. What is it that scares us today? What is it that scares us? Because Kang has to be… All Big Bad is an embodiment of the deepest insecurities in our society."
After dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed thrived in his career and family. When childhood friend and former boxing prodigy Damien Anderson reappears after serving a long prison sentence, he's eager to prove that he deserves his chance in the ring. The confrontation between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to face Damien, a boxer with nothing to lose.
USA Today has unveiled a new image from the upcoming feature that sees Donnie involved in another fight in the boxing ring. Although Jonathan Majors play the new antagonist of the film, it is not him that Donnie faces in the new image. Jordan looks menacing as Donnie, and the overall picture feel promises more high-octane fights in the upcoming movie.
After seeing the first trailer for the film, Empire magazine has exclusively released a new official image of Creed 3, which we leave below.
The plot of Creed III is located five years after the previous film's events and starts with Adonis Creed, who is already world-famous after the events that occurred in the earlier installments.
Majors' meteoric rise has also been accompanied by an exuberant cover in November's Men's Health magazine shirtless, where the Yale University School of Drama grad decided to showcase the hard work that has gone into preparing for everyone. Their roles. "When I look at a script, I look at the difficulty level," he says. "If it's going to be easy, I don't want to do it," he confessed to that publication.
The film also stars Tessa Thompson (the Creed franchise, Passing), Jonathan Majors (5 Bloods, Lovecraft Country), Wood Harris (the Creed franchise, Blade Runner 2049), Florian Munteanu (Creed II: Defending the Legacy, Shan-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), newcomer Mila Kent and Phylicia Rashad (the Creed, Soul franchise).
Creed III will be the first of the Creed movies not to feature Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa, which isn't surprising since he passed the torch on Creed II. The second film ends with Adonis making peace with his father's legacy while Rocky travels to Vancouver, patching things up with his son and finally meeting his granddaughter. With Jordan taking the helm and Stallone stepping away from the franchise, this could mean a fresh start for boxing's long-running series.
Something similar happened with Ivan Drago, another mythical character in the saga for whom another spin-off had been planned that ultimately did not advance because of Winkler. "Once again, eating the leftovers of another wonderful character that I created without even telling me," Stallone said, angry at the producer for not giving up the rights to the boxer played by Dolph Lundgren.
The main protagonist of this entry is Jonathan Majors, who is on everyone's lips because he has just seen something more of his character in Marvel. Being the Kang of the cinema, Majors will also have the relevance of him in the new installment of the Rocky saga, and this is not a coincidence. Many have started to theorize about all the connections between the MCU and the boxer universe, and it has to do with the actors.
The truth is that we have seen Jonathan Majors' Kang before. Or, at least, to one of the many variants that he has scattered across multiverse space-time, introduced in the final episode of the first season of Loki under the nickname of He Who Remains. In other interviews, the interpreter has described this version of his villain as "a kind of blank canvas" that could be, in many ways, the opposite of what he has in store for us in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. This movie will serve as the official debut for the great antagonist our heroes will face in the UCM's next phases.
From what we can see in his latest trailer, the playful nihilism of He Who Remains has given way to something much more disturbing: the post-human determination of someone who has stopped distinguishing between past, present, and future to see the universe in the future. Absolute terms. In his eyes, there is no room for doubt or compassion. He wants to subdue humanity. And unlike Thanos, who already has the weapons to do it.
The film marks the directorial debut of Michael B. Jordan, who also leads its cast along with Tessa Thompson, Jonathan Majors, Wood Harris, Florian Munteanu, Phylicia Rashad, and newcomer Mila Kent.
In Creed III, we'll see a Donnie who is at the top of his career and thriving in his family life. Things take a turn when Damian (Majors), his childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, reappears after serving time in prison. Damian is a fighter who has nothing to lose and is eager to prove that he deserves his chance in the ring. Adonis must put his future on the line to settle scores in the round.
Everything changes for the son of Apollo Creed when he meets Damian, a childhood friend who was arrested and has just been released from prison after spending 18 years incarcerated.
Majors' incursion into the gigantic Marvel Cinematic Universe (UCM) will not be a minor role since he was chosen to characterize the greatest villain of the multiverse saga. Whose character also serves as the common thread between the films and series: all the Fans already know that all productions will lead up to Kang (Majors) as the enemy to be defeated by the heroes.
Jordan directs from a script by Keenan Coogler (Space Jam 2: A New Age) & Zach Baylin (King Richard): A Winning Family), with a story by Ryan Coogler (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and Keenan Coogler & Zach Baylin. The film is produced by Irwin Winkler, Charles Winkler, William Chartoff, David Winkler, Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan, Elizabeth Raposo, Jonathan Glickman, and Sylvester Stallone. Executive producers are Sev Ohanian, Zinzi Coogler, Nicolas Stern, and Adam Rosenberg.
In April 2021, it was officially confirmed that Rocky Balboa would not be in Creed III. At that time, Michael B. Jordan pointed out that the important thing would be to focus on his character. "He is always with respect and with a lot of love for what he built, but we want to move forward and navigate with Adonis into the future and the family that he created," said the now director.
Let's go to the most basic. If we analyze the Creed movies, we see that the film's protagonist is Michael B. Jordan, one of the most beloved villains in the UCM when he played Killmonger and who came to ask many fans the fact that he was the substitute for T'Challa. Continuing with these more main characters, we have to deal with Tessa Thompson, who plays Adonis's wife and who also has relevance in the Thor movies, since Thor: Ragnarok, and even in the Avengers movies that close the story. First saga.
Going a little more to other characters that have nothing to do with the main plot and more with the possible antagonists, we have to deal with Jonathan above Majors, who will give life to Adonis's rival in the third installment and who is the very same Kang. This case is much more relevant than the other two since this Marvel villain will be the central axis for the second important saga of the study, assuming something of considerable weight.
Now we have to look at other somewhat more secondary characters, such as the case of Ivan Drago's son, who was played by Florian Munteanu and who played the villain in the Shang-Chi movie. Other actors like Selenis Levya or Wood Harris have also had their story both in a Creed installment and in a UCM movie, without forgetting the great absence of Creed 3, Sylvester Stallone, who was one of the original Guardians of the Galaxy.
We ask ourselves whether they will continue to share some actor or actress since the Creed saga will depend on the reception that this third installment has. The great impact it can have is unknown since much has been said that it may lose steam due to the non-inclusion of Stallone in the film, but it is still the story of Adonis Creed, so everything is possible.
'Creed III' is a Chartoff-Winkler production to be distributed in North America by MGM and internationally by Warner Bros. Pictures. Its premiere in theaters in both the United States and Spain is scheduled for March 3, 2023.
Next, in addition to recovering its first trailer (originally published in October 2022), the above "behind the scenes" video is available in two different versions: One one minute long (with Spanish subtitles) and another two minutes and a half (in the original version).
With Creed III, Jordan looks to build even more on Donnie's emotional arc that has been made with the last two installments. In a previously released feature film, the actor/director noted that the upcoming movie isn't "just a typical boxing movie." Jordan explained.
Jordan directs from a script written by Keenan Coogler and Zach Baylin. Along with Jordan and Majors, the film stars Tessa Thompson as Donnie's wife, Bianca Taylor, Wood Harris as Tony "Little Duke" Evers, Florian Munteanu as Viktor Drago, and Phylicia Rashad as Mary Anne. Additionally, Tony Bellew will reprise his role as Ricky Conlan from the first film. Creed III debuts in theaters on March 3; you can check out the new image below.
How could it be otherwise? The differences between Creed and Damian will be resolved in the ring, fighting a boxing match that will decide who is the better boxer.
The actor in charge of playing Damian in Creed 3 is Jonathan Majors, well known to all for having played the One Who Remains in the Marvel Loki series and who we will soon see as Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Although he invites him to join his gym, Damian's violent attitude causes much discomfort among his members. As if that were not enough, Damian dislikes his old friend because he feels that he has taken away the fame that belonged to him since he considers himself much better than Adonis.
Jordan is joined behind the scenes by cinematographer Kramer Morgenthau (Creed II: Defending Legacy, Thor: The Dark World), production designer Jahmin Assa (the '90s, Angelyne), editor Tyler Nelson (Batman, Remembrance ), costume designer Lizz Wolf (Creed II: Defending Legacy, Pacific Rim: Rising) and a soundtrack by composer Joseph Shirley (Jackass Forever, The Book of Boba Fett).
Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures presents a Chartoff-Winkler production, Creed III, which will be distributed in North America by MGM and internationally by Warner Bros. Pictures with a planned release in territories beginning March 2, 2023.
The plot of Creed III remains under wraps, but it is believed that it will introduce the new character Anderson Dame as a contender for the title of Adonis Creed. But the upcoming Creed sequel isn't the only new Rocky movie on the way.
The news of Creed 3's delay comes along with the announcement of a new spin-off, titled "Drago," which follows father-and-son Russian boxing team Ivan and Viktor Drago (played by Dolph Lundgren and Florian Munteanu). , something that will surely be related to the new director's cut of Rocky 4.
It's clear that the Rocky movies are changing, with both the sequel and spin-off ushering in a new generation of fighters.
Creed 3 stars Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Creed alongside Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Florian Munteanu, and Jonathan Majors. Michael B. Jordan will direct the film based on a screenplay by Keenan Coogler and Zach Baylin.
Michael B. Jordan once again put himself in the hands of Corey Calliet to achieve his best physique in the third Creed movie. He already did the same for Creed and Creed II. Calliet is known in Hollywood since he has trained personalities like Khloe Kardashian, among many others.
The trainer sat down with reporters from BarBend to outline the type of training and nutrition used to give Adonis Creed that enviable physique in the ring. The first step, as with anyone, is to look at your current state and decide if it's more important to gain muscle mass, lose fat, or improve your conditioning.
In previous preparations, Calliet scheduled long and exhausting training sessions, but in this case, he has learned that quality is preferable to quantity. For this reason, they trained several times daily, but in short, quality sessions.
One day he could do a short high-intensity workout in the morning, boxing work at noon, and weight training at night. In this way, each brief session deals with quality and allows movement with quality.
