Creed III clearly marked the end of an era. The final part of a trilogy that acts as a spin-off of the Rocky saga, this feature film, starring and directed by Michael B. Jordan is also the first boxing movie not to feature Sylvester Stallone as the Italian. Stallion, due to artistic differences with the dark twist taken by this opus.
Sly’s absence in this new chapter of the saga he initiated had no effect on the film’s release, as Creed III established itself as a box office heavyweight, pulling in over $114 million internationally and already over a million admissions in France!
It was because of this phenomenal success that Creed-verse entered the project, because our colleagues Deadline Show that several projects from the franchise are now being developed by the Amazon Prime Video platform – part of the takeover of MGM studios (owners of the rights to the Rocky and Creed franchises).
Restore the faith poem
While a spin-off feature about Ivan Drago and his son Victor has already been announced, which angered Sylvester Stallone and upset his friend Dolph Lundgren, it’s two new projects – this time aimed at streaming – that stand out. An extension of the Creed franchise.
A live-action series is indeed in development and may focus on a supporting character from Creed III, namely Amara Creed, daughter of Adonis and Bianca, played by young deaf-mute actress Mila Davis-Kent.
But that’s not all, as an anime project is also being discussed. It might surprise you at first to see the Rocky saga being turned into an animated series, but remember that several Japanese anime — including Naruto and Hajime no Ippo — have been adapted from Michael B. Jordan has been cited as a major influence on his work as a director.
The Deadline editorial also mentioned live-action and animated film projects, suggesting that the development of the Creed franchise for Amazon will be a test for the continuation of other MGM licenses, among them the most famous. Definitely James Bond. Saga. Thus, the Creed-verse could prefigure other multiverses on Prime Video!
