Earlier this year it was rumored that Michael B. Jordan would direct Creed 3, the next film in the Rocky spin-off series in which Jordan also stars as Adonis “Donnie” Johnson Creed. Now, Tessa Thompson — who plays Bianca Taylor in the series — confirms that Jordan will direct the third film. Thompson confirmed the news while speaking with MTV News’ Josh Horowitz, teasing that she plans to use Jordan’s “Sexiest Man Alive” title as ammunition for when he works with her as a director with Thompson telling him to “dial down the sexiness.”
At this point, we know very little about the third Creed film. Back in February, Zack Baylin was announced as the writer for the film and it’s unlikely that the film would see Rocky star Sylvester Stallone pop up to reprise his role. Earlier this year Stallone said that he doesn’t expect to make an appearance, though he never says no to Rocky.
“Well, I believe in the film Creed, that’s possible, yes,” Stallone revealed when asked if we’ve seen the last of Rocky. “But I never say no to Rocky, because I have a couple of ideas.”

Totally fine with the idea of creed three. Will admit wouldn’t be the same without an appearance from Rocky, but Creed 3 would be a film that I would definitely go see.
