CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Dan Baker in for Scott Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on March 3rd, 2023, reviewing “Creed III,” with Michael B. Jordan making his directorial debut and reprising his role as Adonis Creed. In theaters beginning March 3rd.

Rating: 3.5/5.0

Damian (Jonathan Majors) was a fellow juvenile detention brother to Adonis, before the troubled son of Apollo was taken off the streets by Mama Creed (Phylicia Rashad). Damian served 18 years for a gun situation that involved Adonis, and “Dame” was the Golden Gloves champion who never got his shot. When he emerges from prison, he expects Adonis to give him that shot, and eventually they face off where they should have been years before … in the boxing ring. Tessa Thompson also reprises her role as Bianca Taylor, the singing star wife of Adonis.

”Creed III” opens in theaters everywhere March 3rd. Featuring Michael B. Jordan, Jonathan Majors, Tessa Thompson, Florian Munteanu and Phylicia Rashad. Screenplay by Keenan Cooler and Zach Baylin. Directed by Michael B. Jordan. Rated “PG-13”
