Talking with Selection, Jordan now confirms that he can be returning to make Creed 4, however there is not a agency timeline for the film simply but. The actor, director, and producer additionally shares his long-term hopes for the franchise, expressing an curiosity in remaining concerned in future installments however maybe not essentially being the principle focus:
Ultimately, undoubtedly. It’s a franchise that’s been actually form to me in an enormous means. I really like MGM and Irwin Winkler and every thing they’ve bought occurring. I feel there’s a bit extra story to be mined by means of that. Do I need to be within the ring boxing for the following 15 years? Not a lot. However I feel there are intelligent methods and attention-grabbing characters we’ve established that we’d need to see the place that goes, together with some introductions to new ones I take note of. I nonetheless may have the ability to get a few actually good swings on the franchise a bit extra.

We’re spinning off doing Adonis’s daughter, Amara’s story, the tv present that’s picked up at Amazon. So that you’ll be seeing totally different components of the Creed-verse, I wish to name it. These little IPs are going to maintain the universe alive with out it being fully reliant on simply me to push it by means of the end line each time as a boxer. I’ll be adjoining.

Creed 4, then again, might basically be a sure-thing, however it’s most likely additional away than the TV present going off of Jordan’s “ultimately” remark. The fourth movie would presumably characteristic the return of Tessa Thompson as Bianca Creed, Adonis’ spouse.
As for what occurs within the franchise past that, it looks like Jordan is able to tackle a job just like the one Sylvester Stallone had in Creed and Creed II (2018).

Rocky may even return, in a means, in I Play Rocky on November 26, 2026. Anthony Ippolito will play Stallone within the Peter Farrelly-directed movie, which chronicles the making of the primary Rocky film within the Nineteen Seventies.
