Creed 3 is the third installment in the Creed franchise, which itself is the spin-off extension of the Rocky franchise. Once the iconic Sylvester Stallone franchise has now been turned into Ryan Coogler’s and Michael B. Jordan’s franchise that has given the dead franchise a much needed fresh life. The Creed films have been great critical and financial successes which make sense why the franchise has been getting new additions now and then. This time while the story is still from Ryan Coogler, he won’t be directing it. Instead, Michael B. Jordan will be taking over the director’s chair. The film is one of the most anticipated films of 2023, simply because of the popularity of the franchise and for me I want to see how does Michael B. Jordan fare as a director. Well, the film recently had its premiere and we’re going to look at the first reactions of critics towards the film.
