CREED III

DIRECTOR MICHAEL B. JORDAN STARRING MICHAEL B. JORDAN, JONATHAN MAJORS, TESSA THOMPSON ETA 3 MARCH

Having starred in the previous two Creed movies, Michael B. Jordan carries an extra weight on his shoulders in part III: he’s making his directorial debut here. Good thing he’s had some powerful support in his corner across his career.

“I’ve been blessed to work with and learn from incredible directors over the Creed, Fruitvale Station, Black Panther] and Steven [ Creed II], who gave me a ton of guidance and mentorship heading into this process,” Jordan tells “Ryan was one of the first people that really solidified directing as an aspiration for me. I remember him saying on the first ‘It’s never the right time. You just gotta jump in the deep end and go for it.’ I also received a ton of mentorship from Denzel Washington… There’s not a lot of people who have directed themselves.”
