It was during the weekend when Deadline revealed that actor Michael B. Jordan “considering to direct” the upcoming third installment of the Creed saga.
Jordan debuted the character in Creed (2015) for director Ryan Coogler, spinning off the legacy for a key character in the longstanding Rocky franchise with Sylvester Stallone reprising; Stallone retired the character in the 2018 sequel, Creed II directed by Steven Caple Jr., appearing one last time opposite Dolph Lundgren back in the role of Ivan Drago from Rocky IV.
An official statement from MGM and Warner Bros. remains pending.
Jordan will next appear in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, which is currently dated for February 2021 from Paramount Pictures, pending circumstances with the current Covid-19 pandemic.
