Creed III: Michael B. Jordan Discusses Which Rocky Staple Was the Most Difficult to Film
64On March 3, Michael B. Jordan returns as Adonis “Donnie” Creed in his directorial debut, Creed III. Jordan first took on the role of the legacy boxer, and mentee of Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa, in Ryan Coogler’s spinoff film, Creed, and has since gone on to star in the sequel. From stealing scenes opposite the late, great Chadwick Boseman in Black Panther to reuniting with Coogler in the ring for the Creed series, Jordan takes the helm as both star and director for the series’ threequel and proves to be “a breath of fresh air for the Rocky/Creed universe,” according to Collider’s Ross Bonaime.
Now reigning as the undisputed heavyweight champion, Donnie has retired to training future boxers at the Delphi Gym. He’s enjoying life as a husband to wife Bianca (Thompson) and a father to their daughter, Amara (Mila Davis-Kent), in their sprawling L.A. home, when a friend of his past, Damian “Dame” Anderson (Majors) is released from prison. Having had his own future cut short too young, Dame comes looking to pick up his own dreams of glory, threatening everything Donnie has worked so hard to achieve. In addition to Jordan, Majors, and Thompson, Creed III features the talent of Phylicia Rashad, Wood Harris, Florian Munteanu, and José Benavidez.
While promoting the film, Michael B. Jordan spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about his directorial debut. During his interview, Jordan reveals which important Rocky/Creed staple gave him the most grief while filming, and how and why the movie changed during the editing process. Jordan also discusses future directing gigs and whether or not he’ll be doing the director/actor combo again.
