Creed III

Adonis Creed has reached the top of the boxing world and built a comfortable life for himself and his family. That stability is disrupted when Damian Anderson, a friend from his childhood who was once seen as a gifted boxer, returns to his life after a long prison sentence. Damian wants a chance to compete, and his arrival pushes Adonis toward a confrontation that goes well beyond a normal title bout. With his career and his future at stake, Adonis agrees to face a man who has far less to lose.

Michael B. Jordan directs and stars, making this his first time behind the camera; his next directorial project, a new take on The Thomas Crown Affair, arrived in 2027. Zach Baylin and Keenan Coogler wrote the screenplay, and Irwin Winkler, Sylvester Stallone and William Chartoff produced. Tessa Thompson returns as Bianca, with Phlycia Rashād as Mary-Anne, Mila Davis-Kent as Amara and Wood Harris as Tony Evers. Jonathan Majors plays Damian.

Made for 75 million dollars, the film took in about 275 million worldwide, a strong return on its budget. On IMDb it holds 6.7/10 from 106,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 7.1/10 from 2,982 votes; critics gave it 7.1/10 from 342 reviews, placing it in line with how general audiences rated it.
