Jonathan Majors in talks to fight Michael B. Jordan In ‘Creed III’

Deadline is reporting that Lovecraft Country star Jonathan Majors is in talks to fight against Michael B. Jordan in Creed III, which will mark Jordan’s directorial debut.

Tessa Thompson and Phylicia Rashad will return for the third installment of the Rocky franchise spinoff, but Sylvester Stallone decided not to come back this time. The script is written by Zach Baylin and Keenan Coogler.

Majors, who is coming off the first season of the critically lauded HBO series Lovecraft Country, first made news in his 2019 breakout in The Last Black Man in San Francisco . Majors co-starred in the Spike Lee-directed Da 5 Bloods for Netflix, and he is set to play Kang the Conqueror in Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. He will next be seen in the Jeymes Samuel-directed Western The Harder They Fall for Netflix, and Black Label Media’s Devotion.
