Creed III, the drama/sports movie that is a spin-off of the Rocky franchise, will not have Sylvester Stallone reprising his role. Stallone, who began playing “Rocky” in 1976, said in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he doesn’t like where the franchise is headed, so he opted out. “That’s a regretful situation because I know what it could have been,” he stated.

According to the official trailer, “Still dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed is thriving in his career and family life. When Damian, a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy resurfaces after serving time in prison, he’s eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring.” Micheal B Jordan will be returning to his role as the main protagonist, Adonis Creed, and Tessa Thompson will also be returning to her role as Bianca. Jordan Major will be a new character, Damien Anderson.

This movie will be released in theaters on March 3rd, 2023, and will also be on Amazon to buy/rent. The director of this movie will be Micheal B Jordan. Producers will be Micheal B Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Ryan Coogler, and more.  They are filming the movie in Atlanta Georgia and they started filming in late January of 2022. When Adonis’s childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damien Anderson, resurfaces after he was doing time in prison, he wants to show that he can box and wants a shot in the ring. Adonis and Damien’s former friends will have to face off in the ring with Damien having nothing to lose, but Adonis fighting for his future and his family.
