Michael B. Jordan said that he has been preparing to take the Creed series to a whole new level by maybe producing Creed IV and developing a spin-off based on Creed while promoting Creed III, which is scheduled to enter theatres on March 3. The former actor-turned-director affirmed that Creed IV is “for sure” and that spin-offs have been discussed as well.
Michael B. Jordan revealed some intriguing insights about the series during his interview with IGN for the IGN Fan Fest, and it appears that Creed’s tale is far from ended. He divulged the information and stated, “I just want to expand the Creed-verse within reason, but absolutely expect other stuff around Creed for sure,” when questioned about the future of the franchise.
With Creed 3, which depicts the lives of Rocky Balboa’s protege Adonis Creed, played by Jordan, he makes his directorial debut. Like the first two Creed movies, Creed 3 will feature a thrilling boxing match. The conflict between Adonis and his childhood buddy Damien Anderson, played by Jonathan Majors, is the central plot point of Creed 3. When viewers see Damien in the next film, the character will have ended his prison sentence and is eager to get back in the ring.
Michael B. Jordan Sought the Help Of Denzel Washington and Bradley Cooper for the Film
Michael B. Jordan has spent a lot of time getting ready for his first film as a director, Creed III. It was previously known that he sought out the direction assistance of seasoned actor and Film Critics Award-winning director Denzel Washington as well as filmmaker Bradley Cooper, who was nominated for a Golden Globe.
The actor is committed to directing the movie and wants to give it everything he has. He was aware that he still had a lot to learn, and it wouldn’t hurt to learn from other performers who had made the transition to filmmaking. Speaking with actors and directors Denzel Washington, Bradley Cooper, and others, he stated, “They told me you have to find your flow and your tempo with your first AD and actors.”
But it’s also like having a superpower: you can direct within your performance, he continued. Because you have the opportunity to make adjustments right away, it can help you save time in specific situations. So having that experience was empowering. In time, it started to be enjoyable.
Despite the difficulties of taking over as the director, he finished the movie and explained its most intriguing aspect. “In my opinion, he possesses a level of intensity and character reality we haven’t seen before. He is a realistic character who is naturally aggressive, but it stems from genuine, emotional motivations. He’s not a moustachioed bad guy; I wanted people to understand him and find it challenging. Those, in my opinion, are the most challenging and fascinating to observe.
