In Creed III, who directed the film while also playing Adonis Creed?

In Creed III, Michael B. Jordan directed the film while also playing Adonis Creed.

Creed III marked Jordan’s feature-film directorial debut. He returned as Adonis Creed, the former boxer who has become a successful promoter and mentor. The film follows Adonis when his childhood friend Damian Anderson re-enters his life after a long prison sentence.

Jordan had already played Adonis in Creed and Creed II. His move into directing expanded his role in the franchise and shaped the film’s visual approach, especially during the boxing sequences.

Creed III is also notable because Sylvester Stallone does not appear as Rocky Balboa. It is the first film in the Rocky franchise without Stallone’s Rocky character. The story instead centers entirely on Adonis, his family, and his unresolved relationship with Damian.
