For Creed star Michael B. Jordan, stepping behind the camera for his directorial debut in Creed III is following in the very famous footsteps of the original star of the franchise – Sylvester Stallone.

After the critical success of Rocky, for which he wrote the screenplay, Stallone took over directing duties from John G. Avildsen, directing Rocky II, which became a box office smash, cementing Stallone as an unlikely action star auteur. Hopefully Jordan manages a similar trajectory with Creed III, which is a solid directorial debut featuring a knockout performance from Jonathan Majors.
