As some of you may remember, Michael B. Jordan will not only star in the upcoming ‘Creed III’ film, but he’ll also direct it. It’ll mark his feature directorial debut.
Slowly, we are learning more about this sequel, and this week it was revealed that Jonathan Majors is in talks to battle Jordan in the ring in the upcoming film.
Deadline reports, “Negotiations are underway for Majors to star in the film as Adonis Creed’s ring nemesis.”
If this deal closes, it’ll be another huge role for Majors. He recently starred in the critically-acclaimed HBO series Lovecraft Country.
His rise to A-list from his 2019 breakout in The Last Black Man in San Francisco has been meteoric. Majors most recently co-starred in the Spike Lee-directed Da 5 Bloods for Netflix, and he is set to play Kang the Conqueror in Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Safe to say Jonathan Majors is making some major moves…aha?
As for Creed III, it’s set to be released in 2022, which means filming should start later this year.
We’ll keep you posted.
