Director and star of Creed III Michael B. Jordan describes the core pillar of the franchise as figuring out who you really are. The third entry of the Rocky spinoff just released a nearly three-minute IMAX featurette that goes behind the scenes of the 2023 action drama film. In the new video, Jordan explains that he wanted to figure out what Adonis Creed’s limits are, and he tested his own limits by making his feature film directorial debut with Creed III.
Creed III was shot with IMAX-Certified Digital Cameras with an expanded aspect ratio allowing for up to 26% more of the picture.
Joining Michael B. Jordan for the new Creed film are Tessa Thompson returning as Bianca and newcomer Mila Davis-Kent as Adonis and Bianca’s daughter, Amara. The cast also includes Jonathan Majors, Wood Harris, Florian Munteanu, and Phylicia Rashad.
Keenan Coogler and Zach Baylin wrote the screenplay based on a story by Bayling, Ryan Coogler, and Keenan Coogler. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Irwin Winkler, Charles Winkler, William Chartoff, David Winkler, Ryan Coogler, Elizabeth Raposo, and Jonathan Glickman produced. Sev Ohanian, Zinzi Coogler, Nicolas Stern, and Adam Rosenberg executive produced.
MGM has set a March 3, 2023 theatrical release.
