'Creed 3': Michael B. Jordan on Why Training Montage Was Such a Challenge

On 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.
