Who plays Bianca Taylor in the Creed films?

Who plays Bianca Taylor in the Creed films? Tessa Thompson plays Bianca Taylor.

Bianca is a singer-songwriter and the romantic partner of Adonis “Donnie” Creed, played by Michael B. Jordan. She meets Adonis in Philadelphia in Creed (2015), and their relationship becomes one of the film series’ central emotional threads. Bianca is also pursuing her music career while coping with progressive hearing loss.

Thompson returned as Bianca in Creed II (2018) and Creed III (2023). The character’s hearing loss is not just a plot detail: the films show how she adapts her creative work and personal life as her hearing declines. Thompson also contributed to the Creed soundtracks as a singer and songwriter.

A common mix-up is confusing Bianca with Adonis’s mother, Mary Anne Creed, played by Phylicia Rashad. Talia Shire, another listed option, played Adrian Balboa in the original Rocky films, while Brigitte Nielsen played Ludmilla Drago.
