A pair of posters tease the incoming boxing battle betweenMichael B. Jordanand Jonathan Majors in the boxing sequel,Creed 3. Released viathe official Twitter account forCreed 3, the posters offer our first official look at Marvel actor Jonathan Majors as Anderson Dame, Adonis Creed’s latest opponent. You can check out the new posters forCreed 3below.
“You can’t run…from your past,” the posters read in a caption alongside the darkly menacing images of the two boxers. While details of Majors’ role have yet to be confirmed, the caption strongly suggests that Majors will be someone from Adonis’ past, with rumors having previously claimed that Anderson Dame will be an old friend of Adonis’ from his time spent at a juvenile detention center.
Majors has offered some insight into the role of Anderson Dame,revealing that the character has been built from loss and pain. “There are certain reasons you build your body,” the actor explained. “Dame’s body was built from loss. He had lost something, and that hole is what made him work the way he worked. When you see Dame’s body, you go, Oh, that makes sense. You don’t look like that and be happy with life.”
While further plot details forCreed 3currently remain a secret,Jordan has heaped praise on the addition of Majors, as well as teasing the spectacle that will be on display when the pair finally face-off.
“Jonathan’s just an incredible actor, an incredible person,” Jordan said of adding the actor to the franchise. “Me and him, we just connected the first time we spoke. And then when I pitched him the film, he hit me right back and it was all go from there, you know? So, he was bought in. He has so many different talents, and things that he brings to the table. He was just perfect for the role, so it was a match made in heaven. I’m extremely lucky. We’re very blessed to have him and I can’t wait for everybody to see what we do.”

Not only will Michael B. Jordan return to lead to threequel,but it will also mark the actor’s feature film directorial debut.An aspiration for filmmaking that Jordan has harbored for some time. “I’ve always been moving toward it,” Jordan said. “When you’re acting for twenty-something years, I think over time you start to evolve, your taste buds evolve as well, and you want to do something different. You want another challenge. You start to want to have an opinion and a perspective on how to tell stories. And representation really, really matters. Being so close with Ryan, and watching somebody my age, who looks like me, shoot Fruitvale Station back then, it really gave me the idea that I can do that as well.”
