While not many people can say that they know more about the Rocky / Creed universe than Sylvester Stallone , the role player ’s approximation forCreed IIIto involve Clubber Lang ’s son should be ignored . As the waiting for the third chapter of the Adonis Creed saga is already prospicient than the one between the first and second film , all that is left for audiences is to imagine where the story of Michael B Jordan ’s part is head next . There are , however , two certainties about the next episode : Sylvester Stallone will not render as Rockyand Jonathan Majors will have an antagonist role .
Creed IIIwill stain Michael B Jordan ’s directorial debut and will pick up the story of now champion Adonis Creed and his family line . After face the biggest challenge of his career in the two competitiveness against Viktor Drago , Adonis has risen above his own demons and seems to finally be at peace with who he is . On top of continuing his packing journeying , Adonis now has a girl , Amora , to raise .

Back in 2018 , Stallone suggested thatCreed IIIshould feature the Logos ofClubber Lang , the noted antagonist ofRocky III , as Adonis Creed ’s opponent . While the mind of legacy fictitious character makes signified in the context of a franchise as long - running game as Rocky / Creed , limiting Adonis ' history to be but about face ghosts from Balboa ’s past would be a mistake . The primary reason for the Creed series ' success so far has been how both picture show grapple to stand on their own without bank too to a great extent on Rocky Balboa ’s floor . Even with Stallone ’s indispensable role in the first two flick , the spotlight has always been on Michael B Jordan ’s character and should be keep that mode .
In plus , bringing back the son of a major type from the previous franchise would be an uninspired repeat and would n’t make much sense in term of the story since Creed does n’t have any connection with Lang . The return of Ivan Dragoand the introduction of his boy belonged in the second moving-picture show given how intertwined Drago ’s and Creed ’s stories are . Even still , Creed IInever focused on component such as retaliation or the need for a replay , but rather on what defending the title meant for Adonis ' life and career .
Stallone ’s very absence from the third moving picture is an indicator that the Creed series wants to move further away from Rocky Balboa ’s shadower . No matter how respectable the writers are , Stallone ’s simple bearing on a scene always lay on the line switch the attention away from Adonis to Rocky and will rightly be avoided . touch on yet another element of Rocky ’s past without Stallone ’s character being demand would be a disservice to both Balboa ’s and Adonis ' stories .
While it might seem interesting at first , Stallone ’s idea forCreed IIIto lineament Clubber Lang ’s son would not do the franchise any good . Thethird entry in the Adonis Creed series has the potential to solidify theCreedfilms as their own matter that can be perceived alfresco of Rocky . Even though it is a continuation of the history that begin in 1976 on the streets of Philadelphia , Creedis at his best when it is about Adonis .
