Jonathan Majors on the Creed 3 Fight Sequences, His Method & What's Next
89When Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut, Creed III, hits theaters on March 3, Adonis “Donnie” Creed will face his toughest match yet. Starring Jordan, Jonathan Majors, and Tessa Thompson, Donnie is now the undisputed heavyweight champion, and has not only made a name for himself with his career and retired, but has built a life with his wife, Bianca (Thompson). When an old friend, Majors’ Damian “Dame” Anderson, is released from prison, everything Donnie has hangs in the balance. Majors, who Collider’s Ross Bonaime describes as “one of the most intriguing antagonists in the history of this series,” has since become a household name after his appearance in the Disney+ series, Loki, which gave way to him being the MCU’s Phase 5 antagonist in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, as well as other notable roles in Lovecraft Country, The Harder They Fall, and Magazine Dreams.
In Creed III, Donnie and Bianca are now sharing a life together, raising their daughter Amara (Mila Davis-Kent), when Dame is released. With nothing else to his name, Dame holds his dreams of becoming a champion boxer even closer and manages to track Donnie down. As tensions simmer between the two, Dame struggles to accept that while his dreams were cut short by a prison sentence, Donnie went on to realize those very same goals. Now free, he’s determined to take that glory Donnie worked so hard for. Creed III also stars Phylicia Rashad, Wood Harris, Florian Munteanu, and José Benavidez.
Collider’s Steve Weintraub was able to speak with Jonathan Majors while promoting the film. During his interview, Majors discusses the growth he experiences with each film wrap and how he evolves from every set. He talks about the energy and technicality of filming a major fight sequence in the third act of Creed III, saying “the amount of energy…was uncanny,” and explains why no matter how many box office features he does his method and intensity never change. Majors also reveals when his next project with Academy Award-nominee Willem Dafoe begins filming.
