Abstract

Creed III, Michael B. Jordan's directorial debut--a sequel to a sequel to a sequel, tracing back to the 1976 boxing blockbuster Rocky--proves that it is. Donnie is the son of the late Apollo Creed, the former foe and later friend of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa; across two movies, he has overcome his daddy issues and become his own man. Jordan also reprises the role of Adonis "Donnie" Creed, the underdog boxing superstar he played first in Ryan Coogler's 2015 Creed, a brash surprise, and later in the less satisfying 2018 Creed II.
