The weight of Rocky’s Legacy. Great expectation at the launch of Creed III, will Michael B. Jordan make it without Stallone?
Creed without Rocky
For the first time in history, after six movies as protagonist and two spin-offs, Sylvester Stallone will not show up as Rocky. The decision seems to have been taken directly from the legendary actor, who is convinced that this new chapter of Creed do not have so much space for him.
Useless to say how much the character of Rocky represents for all the people who loves sport and cinema, but Creed has literally something special. Yes, it is true, there are a lot of really good movies about boxing, but simply are not Rocky. So, the question is, will Creed be the next Rocky? The answer is this movie:
The ring is not only the place to box, but the place to show yourself, behind the fights there are stories that want to be told, but is it possible to do all this in single match?
Like Rocky, like Adonis
Michael B. Jordan takes responsibility as actor and director in this third chapter of Creed. The champ is challenging directly the audience with his director debut and the result honors his mentor. All about Creed this time, even Rocky’s vibes are tangible during all the movie long. Michael B. Jordan put entirely himself on Creed III, even his passion for the anime, in fact he admits that the final match was inspired by Naruto and Sasuke rivalry and anime fights. Florian Monteanu and Tony Bellew returns as Viktor Drago and Ricky Conlan, joining the new challenger Damian Anderson, played by Jonathan Majors.
