The first looks for Creed III are in! Posters were unveiled for the latest installment of the series that follows the Rocky franchise. Michael B. Jordan returns as heavyweight boxer Adonis Creed, and Jonathan Majors joins the cast as Anderson Dame. The two are seen sitting in corners of a boxing ring with the words "You can't run…" and "...from your past," respectively. There are some creative changes for the third installment of the series. Jordan is taking up directing duties and Creed III will be the first in the franchise without Sylvester Stallone appearing as Rocky Balboa. Ryan Coogler, who directed the prior Creed films, is still on board in an executive producing capacity.
