Jonathan Majors had been enjoying the peaks of stardom with his major role as Kang the Conqueror in MCU’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. His acting skills were further praised when he starred opposite Michael B. Jordan in his directorial debut, Creed III. The sports drama project not only received positive reviews for its actors’ performances among other criteria, but it also helped in bonding the actors in real life.

But, given that the former has been sentenced to probation, many wonder whether he would return in the next installment of the Creed franchise. This could happen especially when the former shares a close bond with the director-actor, who is returning to helm Creed IV.

Ever since Rocky took the world by storm in 1976, people have been enamored with the idea of an underdog fighting his way to victory. There is something about two people entering an arena and just seeing who is the best. Movies help us find the themes and metaphors we can use for this mentality in our everyday life. If you’re in a funk and then play the Rocky theme, you suddenly become more motivated than ever to get over that mountain called life. With Creed IV reportedly in the works, we figured this would be a great time to put together a list of the best fighting movies other than Rocky.

The eventual release of Creed 4 remains a question, but just how long will Michael B. Jordan's boxing blockbuster remain on the sidelines?
Following in the footsteps of the uber-popular Rocky series of films, the Creed movies have served as a modern passing of the torch from Sylvester Stallone to Jordan for a new generation of prize-fighting pictures.
Since 2015, the first three Creed films have told the story of a once-up-an-comer Adonis Creed, who - walking in the footsteps of his father - goes from a no-name on the streets of North Philidelphia to the biggest name in boxing.

Ivan Drago was Rocky Balboa’s most fearsome foe and Dolph Lundgren’s chilling performance helped turn Rocky IV into a genuine classic. Thirty years later, Drago returned in Creed II, training his son Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu) to face off against Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan). Following the positive fan reaction to Lundgren’s return, MGM announced a Drago spinoff movie, but we haven’t heard all that much about it over the last two years.
Our own Tyler Nichols recently spoke with Dolph Lundgren about his upcoming movie, Wanted Man, and couldn’t resist asking if there was any movement on the Drago spinoff movie.
“You know it was really tracking well for a while and there was a script,” Lundgren said. “And then there were comments on the script and then it kind of had to deal with Ukraine and and things like that. But right now,...

Post strikes, Michael B Jordan is still set to feature alongside Will Smith in the sequel to the 2007 hit, I Am Legend.
Will Smith has appeared at the Red Sea International Film Festival over the weekend, where he confirmed that I Am Legend 2 is still happening.
What’s more, he also confirmed the name of his co-star for the project, and it’s still Michael B Jordan.
There was talk of Jordan – star of the Creed movies and plenty of other high-profile successes – doing the film back when it was first announced in early March of last year. Then the Oscars slap happened a couple of weeks later, Smith’s career took a nosedive, and lots of people assumed that I Am Legend 2 might not happen.
Jordan, meanwhile, has since made his directorial debut with Creed III, and is confirmed as the director (and star of course) of Creed IV as well.

“Creed III” cinematographer Kramer Morgenthau knew Michael B. Jordan had the mind of a filmmaker from their first collaboration together, the 2018 HBO film “Fahrenheit 451.”
“Even back then he had a very strong interest in the camera and cinematography and filmmaking,” Morgenthau tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview.
But after working together as cinematographer and actor on “Creed 2,” the pair took their collaborative relationship to the next level with “Creed III.” The boxing drama was Jordan’s directorial debut, and he enlisted Morgenthau to expand not just on the visual language the director of photography helped establish in “Creed 2” but also the “Rocky” franchise as a whole.

“That was the challenge,” Morgenthau says. “Here is a franchise that is almost 50 years old. It’s a genre, or sub-genre [in terms of a boxing film], that everybody has seen before.
