Michael B Jordan is making moves!
The 31-year-old actor has been confirmed to be the director for Creed III. Jordan will continue with his role as Adonis "Donnie" Johnson, along with the producing. According to Deadline, the film also has a release date for November 23, 2022 aka Thanksgiving Day.
"Directing has always been an aspiration, but the timing had to be right," Jordan added in a statement.
He continued, "Creed III is that moment—a time in my life where I've grown more sure of who I am, holding agency in my own story, maturing personally, growing professionally, and learning from the Greats like Ryan Coogler, most recently Denzel Washington, and other top tier directors I respect. All of which sets the table for this moment."
"This franchise and in particular the themes of Creed III are deeply personal to me," Jordan added. "I look forward to sharing the next chapter of Adonis Creed's story with the same responsibility of being its director and namesake."
Congratulations Michael B Jordan! We can't wait for Creed III.
