Adonis Creed is coming back for another go around in the ring, with "Creed III" set to grace our screens next month. This one will be a bit unique though as Sylvester Stallone will not be returning as Rocky Balboa and will not be in Michael B. Jordan's corner. This time, Jordan's facing off against Jonathan Majors of "Lovecraft Country" fame (in addition to playing Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) as a forgotten memory from Adonis' past. Now, MGM has released a final trailer for the film, which sets up an emotional, hard-hitting battle between Jordan and Majors' onscreen counterparts. Let them fight, as it were.

Aside from starring in the lead role again, Jordan also stepped behind the camera to direct this entry personally, marking his feature directorial debut. If this trailer is anything to go on, he had no trouble adapting to the director's chair. Let's have a look,...

MGM’s Big Game spot for Creed III focuses on the relationship between Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) and Damian (Jonathan Majors). The third film of the franchise marks Jordan’s directorial debut.

“I finally got to this place in my career where I wanted to tell a story and not just be in front of the camera, not just execute somebody else’s vision,” explained Jordan. And to the Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild awards nominee, this third film is all about family. “I think thematically for us family is always the core, you know? Family and heart,” said Jordan. “You have to face your past and find out who you really are. I think it is something that we address in this movie.”

The PG-13 drama also features Tessa Thompson reprising her role as Bianca. Wood Harris, Mila Davis-Kent, Florian Munteanu, and Phylicia Rashad also star.

Director and star of Creed III Michael B. Jordan describes the core pillar of the franchise as figuring out who you really are. The third entry of the Rocky spinoff just released a nearly three-minute IMAX featurette that goes behind the scenes of the 2023 action drama film. In the new video, Jordan explains that he wanted to figure out what Adonis Creed’s limits are, and he tested his own limits by making his feature film directorial debut with Creed III.

Creed III was shot with IMAX-Certified Digital Cameras with an expanded aspect ratio allowing for up to 26 more of the picture.

Joining Michael B. Jordan for the new Creed film are Tessa Thompson returning as Bianca and newcomer Mila Davis-Kent as Adonis and Bianca’s daughter, Amara. The cast also includes Jonathan Majors, Wood Harris, Florian Munteanu, and Phylicia Rashad.
