Creed III is in the works. But it’s easy to forget that fans of Rocky were pleasantly delighted by the franchise’s most recent spin-off, Creed. The 2015 film starring Michael B Jordan as the titular teenage boxer received positive reviews from reviewers and audiences, and did well at the box office.

Creed’s sequel, Creed II, was predictable, given that the original Creed franchise consisted of six films. The fact that it was set up as the final chapter of Rocky’s tale, with the mantle passed on to Adonis Creed himself, was shocking.

That has now been confirmed, with Sylvester Stallone stating that he would not reprise his part in the third Creed film, also named Creed III, as expected. Here’s everything we know thus far about the flick.

Does Rocky die in Creed 3?

This was the original idea well into production, but both Stallone and the studio changed their minds, with Stallone believing Rocky’s death went against the series’ main principles. Rocky was saved, but viewers, critics, and even Stallone himself thought the film ended on a sour note.

Will Sly Stallone be in Creed 3?

Sylvester Stallone has verified for Rocky fans what he said at the close of Creed II production: Rocky Balboa’s quest is done. The legendary actor will not reprise his role in Creed III, and the saga will continue without the champion boxer turned ringside guru.

Who will be in Creed 3?

Michael B. Jordan will achieve a pair of firsts in the upcoming “Creed 3.” With the third installment in the iconic boxing franchise, not only will the actor make his feature directorial debut, but he’ll also be playing protagonist Adonis Creed without the help of Sylvester Stallone for the first time.

Who is the villain in Creed 3?

Jonathan Majors, who starred in Lovecraft Country, is in discussions to play alongside Michael B Jordan in Creed III, the third installment in the Rocky revival series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor is being considered for the role of the antagonist in the sports drama sequel, the boxing opponent of Jordan’s Adonis Creed.
