Michael J. Jordan and Jonathan Majors geek out over 'Creed III'

Is there any better way to get the month started - well, March I mean - than with an explosive, heart pounding flick like Creed III? With hype through the roof and higher, it’s only right director/star Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors step up to dish on what fans can expect from the latest big screen takeover.

It’s all about ‘Creed III’ for MBJ and Majors

Could a Creed IV be a possibility? How about Majors’ favorite thing about working with Jordan? It’s all there with Audacy’s B96 (Chicago) interview.

[3:19] MBJ on if there’s a Creed IV in the future: “I’m building out the ‘Creed-verse.’ I want to plant as many seeds as I can to create opportunities for these characters that everybody seems to be very interested in and loves so much to see them grow.” 

[:51] Incorporating the Latino culture, specifically the Mexican culture, in Creed III. “Throughout all the boxing films, you don’t have any Latino or Mexican representation in any of those films, and boxing culture is primarily Latino, so not having that in a boxing film felt criminal. Being able to have an opportunity to incorporate that in Felix Chavez and have that character meant a lot to me, and hopefully, it felt inclusive.”  – Michael B. Jordan 

[1:25] MBJ working with Jonathan Majors and having Canelo Álvarez in the film. “We pulled it off, man. Thank god he was able to take some time away from his training…My favorite thing for me is just the camaraderie and the brotherhood that spilled into these characters, which started off-camera and off-set. I knew there was somebody that was going to be riding for me every shot and every take that we did. I knew that he had my back, and I had his.” 

[2:04] Jonathan’s best part about working with MBJ. “I would say his bravery because he didn’t shy away from any of the punches, and I mean not just the physical combat, but it’s quite difficult. Acting is not an easy thing. You are sparing with each other emotionally, and he took every hit. Also, throwing with the same capacity. To me, it’s a boxing film, but if the fights start happening outside the ring, if we’re not trading blows, if there’s not an exchange of spirit there, it’s not going to work.”
