    Michael B. Jordan: There's Always Respect and Love for Stallone Despite His Absence From 'Creed 3'

    by

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The Adonis Creed depicter explains why the original ‘Rocky’ actor won’t be returning for the upcoming third spin-off which will become his directorial debut.

    Apr 13, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Sylvester Stallone won’t be in “Creed III” because the franchise wants to build the story around Adonis Creed going forward.

    Michael B. Jordan will reprise his role as the titular character and make his directorial debut in the forthcoming film and, while he admitted there will be an “essence” of Stallone and his character Rocky Balboa in the motion picture, the third movie in the series will focus on Adonis.

    “I think that Sly let it be known that he wasn’t coming back for this one but I think, you know, his essence and his spirit … there’s always going to be a little bit of Rocky within Adonis,” he told IGN.

    “But this is a Creed franchise, and we really want to build this story and this world around him moving forward.”

    While Stallone will not feature in the third film in the franchise, Jordan insisted the movie will be “something special.”

    “So, it’s always respect and always a s**t-ton of love for what he’s built, but we really want to push and navigate Adonis forward and the family that he created,” he explained.

    “So, hopefully you guys will love what I’m thinking … what we’re cooking up. I think it’s going to be something special.”

    Last week (end11Apr21), Stallone confirmed he wouldn’t be appearing in “Creed III”, writing in an Instagram comment, “It’ll be done but I won’t be in it.”

    The 74-year-old star first appeared as the underdog fighter in 1976’s “Rocky” and starred as the character in several movies.

    He reprised the role for the “Creed” franchise, as Rocky became a mentor to Adonis ‘Donnie’ Creed, and his performance in the first “Creed” film led to an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

      Sylvester Stallone Won't Return for 'Creed 3'

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The original ‘Rocky’ actor will not reprise his role for the upcoming third installment which will become the directorial debut for the Creed depicter Michael B. Jordan.

      Apr 8, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Sylvester Stallone will not appear in the third “Creed” movie.

      The 74-year-old actor created the character of Rocky Balboa in the 1970s and previously played a starring role in the first two “Creed” films – but a spokesperson for the actor told The Hollywood Reporter he’ll be absent from the upcoming movie – although no additional explanation was offered.

      Stallone first appeared as the underdog fighter in 1976’s “Rocky” and subsequently established the character as one of the most iconic in recent cinema history.

      He reprised the role for the “Creed” franchise as Rocky became a mentor to Michael B. Jordan’s character, Adonis ‘Donnie’ Creed.

      In fact, his performance in the first “Creed” movie led to an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, as both of the “Creed” movies proved to be critical and commercial successes.

      Jordan is confirmed to take double duty for the upcoming third installment. The film, which is scheduled to hit cinema screens at the end of 2022, will be his directorial debut.

      “Directing has always been an aspiration, but the timing had to be right,” he said. “Creed III is that moment – a time in my life where I’ve grown more sure of who I am, holding agency in my own story, maturing personally, growing professionally, and learning from the Greats like Ryan Coogler, most recently Denzel Washington, and other top tier directors I respect. All of which sets the table for this moment.”

      This franchise and in particular the themes of Creed III are deeply personal to me. I look forward to sharing the next chapter of Adonis Creed’s story with the awesome responsibility of being its director and namesake.”

      Michael B. Jordan Confirmed to Direct 'Creed 3'

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The Adonis Creed depicter has been confirmed by co-star Tessa Thompson to sit behind the lens for the upcoming third installment of the Rocky Balboa spinoff.

      Dec 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Michael B. Jordan has been confirmed to direct “Creed 3” by his co-star Tessa Thompson.
      It was reported earlier this year (20) that the actor was set to make his big-screen directorial debut on the third instalment in the “Creed” movie franchise, in addition to reprising his role as Adonis Creed.
      And in an interview with MTV News, Tessa reflected on Jordan’s recent title of People’s Sexiest Man Alive as she said, “I haven’t talked to him about it because I’m gonna pretend it hasn’t happened. We’re gonna make another Creed very soon, and I don’t need the sexiest man alive to…you know what I mean, I just don’t need it. I don’t need any of it. It’s too much for me to shoulder. It’s too much for me to handle.”

      She then confirmed he will be helming the next film, continuing, “He is directing the next Creed. It’s going to be ammo, I think, for me, when he is engaging with me as a director.”
      “I’m just going to tell him to dial down the sexiness. But we’re not gonna make it until later in the year. So who knows what happens? Another man will be – I don’t know if he will still be the Sexiest Man Alive in six months.”
      “Creed III” would be the ninth instalment in the Rocky franchise overall, dating back to the original starring Sylvester Stallone, which was released in 1977.
      The first “Creed” movie was released in 2015 with Ryan Coogler as director. “Creed II” was released in 2018 and helmed by Steve Caple, Jr., with Jordan serving as an executive producer on the sequel.

      Michael B. Jordan Could Make Directorial Debut With 'Creed 3'

      by

      Warner Bros.

      The ‘Black Panther’ actor is reportedly in talks to direct the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Creed II’, in which he’s also expected to reprise his role as Adonis Johnson.

      Oct 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Michael B. Jordan is looking to expand his resume with directing credit and his first project as a director could be “Creed 3”. The actor is reportedly in talks to serve at the helm for the third installment of the “Rocky” spin-off franchise, which he also stars in.
      The news was first shared by Deadline when reporting the possibility of “No Time to Die” being sold off to a streaming service like Netflix, Amazon and Apple after several release delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the report which described the James Bond franchise as “MGM’s crown jewel,” the site casually revealed that “MGM is working on a ‘Creed’ sequel that Michael B Jordan is considering to direct.”
      While it has not been confirmed how far the talk about Jordan making his directorial debut with “Creed 3” is, he’s expected to return and reprise his role as Adonis Johnson, the illegitimate son of the late Apollo Creed, who is at the center of the stories in the first and second movie. He also served as executive producer for “Creed II”.

      In his book “A Life in Movies: Stories From 50 Years in Hollywood” which was published in 2019, producer Irwin Winkler mentioned that he had promised Jordan that “he’d get his chance to direct ‘Creed III’.” He revealed, “Last year in a conversation with our ‘Creed’ star Michael B. Jordan, I offered him the opportunity to not only star in, but also to direct ‘Creed III’.”
      The first “Creed” movie was directed by Ryan Coogler, who previously directed Jordan in 2013’s “Fruitvale Station”. Steven Caple Jr. took over the role behind the lens for the sequel, which was released in 2018.
      In both first two movies, Sylvester Stallone returned as Robert “Rocky” Balboa, Sr., Apollo’s enemy-turned-best friend who becomes Adonis’ avuncular trainer and mentor. In the second film, Adonis meets Viktor Drago, son of Ivan Drago, in the ring. Dolph Lundgren reprised his role as the Russian former prize champion boxer, who killed Apollo during an exhibition boxing match years before.
      Jordan is also known for his role as Erik Killmonger in “Black Panther”, which was also directed by Coogler. He will next be seen in “Without Remorse”, which is based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Tom Clancy.
