CreedIII sees MichaelBJordan taking over directing duties, but where does the movie leave fans? Digital Trends explains Creed III's ending.
Just like Sylvester Stallone before him, Michael B. Jordan has taken over the reins of the Creed franchise. The star stepped into the director’s chair for the third installment, which is also an attempt to distance this boxing franchise from its Rocky roots. Creed III follows Jordan’s Adonis Creed as he is reintroduced to Damian Anderson, a friend from his childhood whose life took a very different path than Adonis’s.
Damian was a boxer before he got locked up, though, and his goal remains to become world champion. Adonis, meanwhile, is retired, and managing his own club of boxers who are a little less worn down. After Damian fights dirty to take down one of Adonis’s fighters and claim the world championship, though, Adonis realizes he’s going to have to return to the ring to answer for his past.
Before that, Creed III makes some fascinating stylistic choices, including an extended part of that fight sequence during which the crowd evaporates, and Damian and Adonis are facing off in an empty arena. Jordan has spoken about the way he was influenced by anime in his directing choices, and that’s never more clear than in this sequence.
