Creed 3?
We’re probably getting a third Creed, which may be the first installment of the Michael B. Jordan series without Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa.
There is a long distance between “a studio hired a writer” and “this movie has a release date.” That being said, MGM has hired Zach Baylin, who recently penned King Richard (a Will Smith vehicle/tennis biopic about the father of the Williams sisters), to write a third Creed movie. The film will presumably star Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Creed and Tessa Thompson as Bianca, his fiancée and the mother of his child. Beyond that, we know very little about this project, in terms of the plot, the director or (especially) if Sylvester Stallone will return as Rocky Balboa. Stallone swore he was done with the character after Creed II, and the 2018 sequel gave his character a happy ending, but, well, we’ll see.
