Set photos from Creed 3 reveal a ripped Jonathan Majors as his villain character trains on a beach. Michael B. Jordan starred in Warner Bros.' 2015 relaunch of the Rocky franchise, where he began playing Adonis Creed, the son of Rocky's opponent-turned-friend Apollo Creed. Despite plenty of hesitation upon its announcement, Creed proved to be a huge hit under Ryan Coogler's direction and it didn't take long for franchise plans to develop around Jordan. This included him returning to star in Creed II a few years later and the more recent development of him also deciding to direct Creed III.
Plot details are largely under wraps for what will happen in Creed 3. Jordan's return comes alongside Tessa Thompson's return as Bianca, who was engaged to Adonis at the end of Creed II. It is not expected that Sylvester Stallone will be back as Rocky Balboa, though, as his time with the franchise appears to have finally reached a conclusion. One of the only details that is known about Creed 3 is that Jonathan Majors is set to play the villain. Fans have speculated that he could be the son of former villain Clubber Lang, continuing the legacy element of the franchise.
