The bell is about to ring for the much-anticipated bout, as Creed III is scheduled for a July 9 release on MGM+. The third entry in the popular Rocky offshoot franchise will be streaming into your living room, presenting yet another avenue to watch the title following its digital platform premiere. Michael B. Jordan, reprising his role as Adonis Creed, made his directorial debut with this feature, balancing both acting and filmmaking to tell a tale of resilience during hardship.
The storyline picks up after Creed II, where our hero overcame Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu) in a brutal fight. The obstacle that Donnie must confront in this installment is unlike any he’s faced before, with a figure from his past ready to strip him of everything he holds dear. Years prior to the narrative, Donnie and his friend, Damian Anderson (Jonathan Majors), were inseparable. However, a night of misadventure led to Damian being the sole one apprehended by the police while Donnie escaped.

Following a stint in prison, Damian is released, but not without harboring a powerful grudge against Donnie. This pent-up resentment culminates in a volatile showdown. Donnie, occupied with building a harmonious life with his wife, Bianca (Tessa Thompson), is caught off guard by Damian’s return. Despite their seemingly idyllic existence, Damian’s quest for retribution disrupts their peace. Even Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) cannot shield Donnie from his most formidable adversary to date.
