Michael B Jordan Set to Direct and Star in Creed 4, Reports Indicate

Adonis Creed is set to make a comeback in the next installment of the Rocky spin-off series. Producer Irwin Winkler announced plans for Creed 4 during an event in Los Angeles, with Michael B. Jordan returning as the lead character and also directing the film. Despite some delays caused by strikes, the team has a compelling story and plot ready, and pre-production is expected to begin in about a year.

Additionally, Winkler has confirmed that Jordan will be directing Creed 4, following his impressive directorial debut on Creed III. Jordan is also set to star alongside Will Smith in the highly anticipated I Am Legend 2.

Moreover, Creed III shattered box office records, making it the highest-grossing sports movie in its opening weekend in the US. Internationally, the film earned over $275 million, surpassing the earnings of the previous two installments. This trend of each new Creed movie outperforming its predecessor is unique to the franchise. The first film, Creed, earned $174 million worldwide, while its sequel brought in $214 million.

Editor's P/S

As a fan of the Creed series, I am thrilled to hear that Michael B. Jordan will be returning to direct and star in Creed 4. Jordan has proven himself to be a talented director with his work on Creed III, and I am confident that he will bring the same level of passion and skill to the fourth installment.

The Creed franchise has been a huge success, with each film outperforming its predecessor at the box office. This is a testament to the strength of the story and the characters, and I am excited to see where Jordan takes the series next. I am particularly interested to see how he explores the relationship between Adonis Creed and his father, Apollo Creed, who was a legendary boxer in the Rocky series.
