Creed III
Film | 2023
Now streaming on Netflix since June 1, 2026
Drama, sports | Runtime: 1h57
Directed by Michael B. Jordan
Starring Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Jonathan Majors, Wood Harris, and Phylicia Rashad
Original title: Creed III
Nationality: United States
After ruling the boxing world, Adonis Creed leads a steadier life with his family. His balance is disrupted by the return of Damian Anderson, a childhood friend who has just left prison. Once a prodigy in the ring, Damian believes his career never lived up to his potential and now seeks to prove himself against Adonis.
The clash ahead goes beyond the sports arena. Creed III puts Adonis up against his past, his choices, and a personal rivalry that threatens both his career and his inner equilibrium. The film extends the franchise’s core themes—legacy, passing on, and the urge to define oneself beyond the Creed name.
This third installment also stands out for the absence of Rocky Balboa on screen. After Creed - The Legacy of Rocky Balboa and Creed II, the story shifts its focus entirely to Adonis, his family, and his own journey as a champion.
In the cast, Michael B. Jordan reprises the role of Adonis Creed, while Tessa Thompson portrays Bianca. Jonathan Majors stars as Damian Anderson, Adonis’s new foe. The film also features Wood Harris, Phylicia Rashad, Mila Davis-Kent and Florian Munteanu.
Creed III may appeal to Netflix subscribers who enjoy sports dramas, stories of rivalry, and the Rocky saga. The film is less for viewers seeking a Rocky Balboa-centric chapter, as this sequel opts to push forward Adonis Creed’s story in a more autonomous direction.
The trailer for Creed III marks Damian's return to Adonis Creed's life, and features the showdown that pushes the champion to confront a buried facet of his past.
