Michael B. Jordan Says CREED IV Is "Eventually, Definitely" Coming and Wants to "Get a Couple of Really Good Swings at the Franchise"

Michael B. Jordan is a busy guy, working away on several projects as an actor, producer, and director. Fresh off this year’s hit, Sinners, which the actor calls “the second hardest thing” he’s ever done, he’s diving headfirst into The ThomasCrown Affair, which he is directing, producing and starring in. But he’s also not finished with his Creed film franchise.

The third film, which marked Jordan’s directorial debut, was released in 2023, and the fourth film is in the works, but it’s still a ways down the road. When asked about the sequel in a recent interview with Variety, the actor stated:

“Eventually, definitely. It’s a franchise that’s been really kind to me in a big way. I love MGM and Irwin Winkler and everything they’ve got going on. I think there’s a bit more story to be mined through that. Do I want to be in the ring boxing for the next 15 years? Not so much.

“But I think there are clever ways and interesting characters we’ve established that we might want to see where that goes, along with some introductions to new ones I have in mind. I still might be able to get a couple of really good swings at the franchise a bit more.”

He went on: “We’re spinning off doing Adonis’s daughter, Amara’s story, the television show that’s picked up at Amazon. So you’ll be seeing different parts of the Creed-verse, I like to call it.

“These little IPs are going to keep the universe alive without it being completely reliant on just me to push it through the finish line every time as a boxer. I’ll be adjacent.”

The Creed franchise is solid. The movies are good, and I expect the series to tell a good story. I also look forward to the new take on The Thomas Crown Affair.

Jordan has made some great career choices so far, and I look forward to seeing what else he takes on.
