Jonathan Majors In Talks To Fight Michael B. Jordan In Creed III

It was reported that Michael B. Jordan was set to helm the latest entry in the Creed series. Now MGM and first-time director Michael B. Jordan have set their sights on Lovecraft Country star Jonathan Majors to be his opponent in the ring for Creed III, Deadline reports. Negotiations are underway for Majors to star in the film as Adonis Creed’s ring nemesis.

It’s the latest big movie role looming for Majors, who is coming off the first season of the critically lauded HBO series Lovecraft Country.  Majors most recently co-starred in the Spike Lee-directed Da 5 Bloods for Netflix, and he is set to play Kang the Conqueror in Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

Tessa Thompson and Phylicia Rashad return for the third installment of the Rocky franchise spinoff, but Sylvester Stallone decided not to come back this time.
