The film's release, on March 3, 2023, was highly anticipated, and "Creed III" has the potential to become a landmark moment in Jordan's career, demonstrating his versatility as both an actor and a filmmaker. The story picks up with Adonis Creed thriving in his career and family life, only to have his world shaken by the return of a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damian. Their reunion sets the stage for a high-stakes confrontation, promising audiences a gripping narrative filled with personal demons and ring battles.

The official trailer showcased not just the physical prowess expected of a boxing film but also the emotional depth that Jordan, both as an actor and director, seems intent on exploring. The dynamic between Adonis and Damian, masterfully portrayed by Jonathan Majors, appears to be the emotional core of the film. Their past, their ambitions, and the grudges they carry are interwoven into the intense boxing sequences, creating a narrative that extends beyond the sport itself.

Jonathan Majors, already a rising star, has consistently delivered powerful performances, and his casting as Damian adds another layer of anticipation for the movie. He and Jordan are busy promoting "Creed III", and their chemistry both on and off screen is palpable. The photo shoot on January 7, 2023, with Jordan and Majors in full focus, hints at the dedication and focus both actors brought to the project.

The production team includes esteemed names, such as producers William Chartoff, Ryan Coogler, Jonathan Glickman, Elizabeth Raposo, Sylvester Stallone, and Charles Winkler. The script, crafted by Keenan Coogler and Zach Baylin, promises to deliver a compelling story.

The film's release date in theaters was a significant moment, and early projections suggested a strong opening weekend, potentially surpassing previous installments in the "Creed" franchise. This success is not just a win for Jordan but for the entire team involved in the project, including the writers, producers, and the technical crew. This success further highlights the drawing power of the "Creed" series and its ability to captivate audiences with its blend of action, drama, and character-driven storytelling.

The premiere in Los Angeles, as seen in the photographs taken on February 27, 2023, at the TCL Chinese Theatre, showed a glimpse of the buzz around the film. The presence of key crew members, including Ryan Rayner (key grip), Michael Rideau (first assistant camera), and the lighting team, demonstrates the collaborative effort that brought the vision to life. "Creed III" is a testament to the potential of blending acting with directing, offering a fresh perspective on a beloved franchise.

The success of "Creed III" could pave the way for future collaborations between Jordan and Majors. Jordan has openly expressed his desire to work with Majors again, even suggesting "Creed IV" could be on the horizon. This statement indicates not only the positive experience of working together but also the potential of the storyline to continue. Should Jordan decide to greenlight another "Creed" movie with Majors, it would be a welcome development for fans of the series.

The film's box office performance is a testament to its quality and appeal, as the "Adonis Creed saga, "Creed III," clobbered the competition this weekend, with an estimated $58.6 million take at the domestic box office".
