In Creed III, who directed the film in his feature directorial debut?

Michael B. Jordan directed Creed III in his feature directorial debut.

Jordan also stars as Adonis Creed, making the film a combined acting and directing project. Creed III follows Adonis after his professional boxing career and focuses on his renewed connection with Damian Anderson, a childhood friend whose ambitions bring conflict into Adonis’s life.

The film is the first installment in the Rocky franchise without an appearance by Rocky Balboa. That change places Adonis fully at the center of the narrative and gives Jordan greater responsibility for shaping the series’ visual and emotional direction.

Ryan Coogler directed the first Creed, and Steven Caple Jr. directed Creed II. Sylvester Stallone directed several Rocky films, but he did not direct Creed III.
