Michael B. Jordan is about to jump back into the ring as Adonis Creed, son of the legendary Apollo Creed. Third movie Creed, which Jordan also directs, will hit theaters in March.
The Rocky spin-off saga started in 2015 and was, to a large extent, the revitalization of Sylvester Stallone’s boxing franchise.

Michael B. Jordan wants Adonis Creed to grow beyond the Rocky legacy, though the absence of Stallone’s character could still hurt the new film’s box office performance. That is something that will be seen in a short month.
The actor, however, is confident about the future of the Creed saga, and is very convinced that we will have more movies, whether they are direct sequels or derivative projects related to the figure of Adonis Creed.
