Creed III

It has recently been announced that on the date of March 3rd, 2023, Creed III will be streamed in theaters. In the first of the three movies, the main character, Adonis Johnson, was never able to meet his father who was a famous boxing champion by the name of Apollo Creed. As a child Adonis lost his mother and later began getting into trouble causing him to end up in juvenile detention. Once he was in juvey a woman came to speak to him, telling him that she was married to Apollo when he passed, and went on to tell Adonis about his father. After moving to Philadelphia Adonis wanted to train to become a boxer just like his father. He gained the courage to reach out to a mentor who was the former heavyweight boxing champion and a former friend Apollo, Rocky Balboa. He wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and thought that he could achieve this with Rocky’s help. At first, Rocky denied helping Adonis because he did not want to lead him down that path. After much convincing Rocky agreed and they began to train. While Adonis continued to train and his career took off, he took the name Creed leading him to win the title. In Creed II, Adonis is beginning to get ready to fight Drago’s son. Drago’s father, Ivan Drago killed Adonis’s father, Apollo Creed, in a tragic match that surprised the world 33 years earlier. In between all of this, Adonis proposes to his girlfriend, Bianca Taylor, and she suggests that they start a new life together in Los Angeles so that she can kick off her musical career. This leaves him reluctant, not wanting to leave his life in Philadelphia behind as well as Rocky who had been suffering with health problems. When the fight versus Dragos son was brought up to Rocky he refused immediately causing Adonis to be upset and begin his move to Los Angeles. Without Rocky’s approval he agrees to fight Drago’s son, Viktor Drago, and is confident that he will win. During the fight Viktor makes an illegal head shot to Adonis and he is left in critical condition. After recovery and the birth of Adonis’s daughter, Rocky agrees to meet him in an unknown desert to get him ready for the rematch between him and Viktor. This rematch takes place in Moscow and after the fight, Adonis remains champion. At the end of the movie Adonis, Bianca, and their daughter go to Apollo’s grave to make peace with his father’s legacy and declare his own. With Creed II ending happily it gets the audience ready for the next movie to see what twists and turns take place. Not much information about the movie is out yet, but Creed III is focusing on Adonis and a childhood friend of his, Damian. While Adonis was gaining success in the ring Damian was serving 18 years in prison. Because of being in prison, he feels robbed of his career and wants to not only live Adonis’s life but take his title. Many people cannot wait to see Creed III to continue the storyline of his career.
