MGM has shared our first look at Creed III via a pair of posters featuring Michael B. Jordan as the returning Adonis Creed and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors as his latest opponent.
We're still not sure who Majors is playing, but there's been a lot of speculation that he might be the son of Rocky III's Clubber Lang (Mr. T). Another theory points to the Lovecraft Country actor taking on the role of Apollo Creed's other son, which seems a bit more likely to us given the "You Can't Run From Your Past" tagline.
Majors has also appeared in The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Da 5 Bloods, Netflix western The Harder They Fall and Black Label Media’s Devotion. Of course, he is also set to play the villainous Kang the Conqueror in Marvel's Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania after debuting as a Variant of the character in Loki.
Check out the posters below.
Jordan will also be stepping behind the camera for the first time to helm this third installment in the boxing drama franchise. Tessa Thompson and Phylicia Rashad are set to reprise their respective roles, but Sylvester Stallone will not be back as Rocky Balboa.
Zach Baylin and Keenan Coogler penned the script.
