It's spent several years in development now, but work has finally begun on the third movie in the Rocky spin-off series. The next Creed film will of course feature Michael B. Jordan back in the title role but will be the first film to apparently not feature Rocky Balboa as Stallone says he's retired from the role for now. This third entry will not only have Jordan back in the role but he's also taking over directorial duties on the major motion picture. This is another step forward for Jordan's career as this will be his first time directing a film.
Jordan first gained notoriety on HBO's The Wire and also appeared on All My Children and Friday Night Lights. He finally gained some real spotlight time with his lead role in Chronicle and Fruitvale Station. He first appeared as Adonis Creed in 2015 and then in the sequel, Creed II.
It's estimated that Jonathan Majors will take up the role of Creed's latest opponent when he steps back in to the ring. These photos that appeared online today show Jordan back in fit shape along with Majors obviously putting on some muscle.
