About Creed III

Adonis Creed has built a comfortable life atop the boxing world, balancing fame with family. His calm is disrupted when Damian Anderson, a once promising fighter and a long imprisoned childhood friend, returns with a raw hunger to prove he belongs back in the ring. What begins as a charged contest between two men quickly presses into something deeper than sport, fueling old loyalties and new resentments. As Damian presses toward a comeback, Adonis faces a choice that could redefine his career, his loved ones, and the creed he has built around himself. This clash is as personal as it is professional, pulling back threads of friendship, loyalty, and the price of fame. The moments in the ring matter most.

Directed by Michael B. Jordan, this installment steering the Creed saga leans on the same core characters created by Keenan Coogler, Ryan Coogler, and Zach Baylin. It builds on the franchise while pushing toward fresh emotional and athletic clashes ahead.

Creed III cements the series as a bridge between sports drama and character study. It sparked conversations about loyalty and rivalry among fans, and Jonathan Majors' portrayal of a dangerous rival gave rise to memorable confrontations that dominated social feeds and trailers. Its action set pieces linger in fan conversations.

Critics generally praised the film for its kinetic fights and the weight of its family drama. The story probes how legacy shapes ambition and the costs of choosing pride over peace, while reaffirming the Creed saga as a personal, not just a prize driven, pursuit and strong performances across screens.

Box office numbers place Creed III among the stronger entries in the franchise, with a worldwide gross reported at roughly 275 million dollars, reflecting solid audience turnout across domestic and international markets continuing to draw crowds in foreign markets globally.

What Viewers Are Saying

7.1/10
from 2,780 ratings

Viewers appreciate Creed III for bringing passion and creativity that keep the franchise fresh, particularly praising Jonathan Majors' compelling portrayal of a complex antagonist. Audiences also value the film’s shift towards a heartfelt family drama alongside the boxing narrative, supported by Michael B. Jordan’s strong performance and directorial debut. However, some feel the story leans too heavily on familiar tropes and misses the presence of Sylvester Stallone, with a few expressing disappointment in the protagonist’s quick retirement and the pacing of the plot. Overall, the movie is seen as an entertaining, though not necessarily groundbreaking, addition to the Rocky/Creed series.
