Michael B. Jordan has lavished praise on the talents of Jonathan Majors, with the pair set to do battle as foes in the upcoming Creed III.
In the first two Creed movies, Adonis Creed (Jordan), the son of Apollo Creed, battled 'Pretty' Ricky Conlan and then Viktor Drago, the son of Ivan Drago who previously killed his father in the ring in Rocky IV.
He is forced to confront his past again in Creed III, as the trailer has revealed that his next foe will be a former friend who has been imprisoned for 18 years.
In June of 2021, it was confirmed that Jonathan Majors would be playing Adonis' new adversary, and we now know that he will be named Anderson Dame. Within the trailer, we see a flashback of Dame and Creed as young men, with the former being arrested and the latter apparently being let off.
Jordan, who will make his directorial debut with the movie, says Majors is "incredible".
"First of all, Jonathan Majors is incredible," he told Collider.
"We’re very blessed and lucky to have him be a part of this story. For me, as a director, just to have that running mate and partner made all the difference in the world. He’s extremely talented. The world is finding out, daily, how incredible this man is and the work that he does is finally getting the props that it’s due. Jonathan was incredible.
He showed up every day, ready to go to war and ready to work. We bonded in a way that I’ve never had an opportunity to do, and it was my first time exploring that relationship between director and actor. I really understand that now. It’s a bond that’ll last forever. I was just really lucky to have that gentleman by my side while I was going through this process.
"It was extremely helpful. You’ll find out more about the character of Damian, who’s definitely a pivotal person and a pillar in Adonis’ life, that comes back around and needs to get addressed."
Both actors were in astonishing shape for Creed III as you can see from the trailer below.
