Creed 3 Michael B Jordan is directing

Well, it looks like Creed 3 has secured its director: Michael B. Jordan. The actor and producer has been with the franchise from the beginning, so it makes sense that he would helm the next installment. Jordan initially re-teamed with Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler for 2015’s Creed, later reprising his role as boxer Adonis Johnson in 2018’s Creed II.

Interesting. I really, really liked the first one. Haven't seen the second one yet but I heard it's also really good. I'm aware there were some behind-the-scenes issues, though. This isn't altogether surprising but it's definitely an interesting turn.

Creed 2 is good just Ryan Coogler didn't direct it and I think part of the magic is missing because he didn't direct the follow up.

also Casting Phylicia Rashad aka Claire Huxtable as Mary Ann Creed was perfect casting in the sequel

I want the new Rocky just to have a franchise go two different directions at once.

I remember reading Stallone begging Jordan not to do this (direct), that it would take over his whole life for a year. *shrug* Guess he didn't listen.

Will Rocky die in this one? Maybe it's time he bows out.

Stallone won't have anything to do with this one. They can't even kill him off-screen since Stallone is threatening to do Rocky 7.

You know? Maybe I'm way off base here. But as time goes on I'm beginning to suspect the whole "Stallone is talking big about doing Rocky 7 and the studio really wants to do it and all he has to say is 'yes'" is largely just bargaining chips to get a bigger piece of the pie with "Creed 3." Both creatively and monetarily.

Thanksgiving, 2022 locked in.

You can thank Black Panther for that. No complaints in my part.

Stallone is sticking to his guns about not doing Creed 3.

Maybe after Creed 3 and Rocky 7 we can get Rocky vs Creed

Oh, Jesus.

So with Stallone pretty definitively out of Creed 3, that means Creed is going to get a new trainer. Who do you guys reckon they'll tap for it?

My money is on Clubber Lang. Barring that, perhaps Drago himself.

What is the character's reasoning for not being present? I watched both Creed films on delay because of Stallone's presence. Drago or Lang don't do it for me so if Stallone throws in the towel so do I.

Creed 2 ended Rocky's Story. He made amends with his son and wants to spend time with his grandson so he probably moved closer to spend time with them.

For now. Stallone was wanting to make his "Rocky trains an illegal immigrant" Rocky 7 a while back. That kind of means Stallone still sees Rocky as potentially being active.

now he wants to do a Rocky Prequel series for streaming

Yeah, I saw that. I'd way rather see Young Rambo: The Nam Years. I don't know that we need to see Young Rocky just being a well-intentioned loser pre-Rocky, though from the way Stallone is talking it sounds like he wants to Forrest Gump him into a bunch of historical points... which sounds really terrible.

ya id prefer young rambo too that would be cool
