The plot: Still dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed is thriving in his career and family life. When Damian, a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy resurfaces after serving time in prison, he’s eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring. The face-off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to battle Damian — a fighter who has nothing to lose.
I was looking forward to this 3rd sequel of the creed franchise.
Creed 3 was awesomely good.
Pros: Michael B. Jordan did so well in his role, as both the director and the main star. All the punches were so loud and deadly, it makes you feel like you’ve been hit with one. I liked the amount of drama all the way through the film. Damian Anderson was a brilliant antagonist for Creed. I was impressed how the film handled Creed’s little girl’s communication techniques, with both her dad (Michael B. Jordan) and Bianca (Tessa Thompson) respectively.
Cons: My only flaw was that Rocky himself was not involved at all.
The Casts:
- Michael B. Jordan as Adonis “Donnie” Creed (né Johnson)
- Thaddeus J. Mixon as 15-year-old Adonis “Donnie” Johnson
- Tessa Thompson as Bianca Taylor-Creed

Additionally, Tony Bellew reprises his role as “Pretty” Ricky Conlan from the first film. Boxer Canelo Álvarez and singer Kehlani make cameo appearances as themselves.
I highly recommend watching this film.
