10 Actors With Game-Changing Movie Roles Coming Up

It's pretty self-explanatory as to why the concluding entry of a trilogy is the most important out of the three films. The core narrative needs wrapping up, characters’ arcs have to be completed and any loose ends need tying together - as well as it being crucial that the picture has been worth the build-up and pay-off, especially within a world as beloved and infamous as Rocky. The Creed films have re-energised an overworked and tiresome franchise, and Michael's portrayal of a driven yet tortured Adonis has proved a masterstroke for the Californian's profile and status.

With that in mind, Creed III is a clear-cut milestone in Michael B. Jordan’s blossoming career and is the most important outing of his to date. His artistry has proved he is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to acting, with roles such as Erik Killmonger, Bryan Stevenson and Adonis Creed himself proving his credentials to be a worthy steward to the Rocky franchise and the industry itself.

Jordan's Adonis will face off against one of Hollywood's best up-and-coming actors, Jonathan Majors, but Michael has added responsibility now as Creed III will signify his directorial debut. The decision of the 35-year-old to direct the film is brave and demonstrates his duel-wield career ambitions. If the movie exceeds its already promising expectations, Michael B. Jordan's acting and directing talent will be on full display presenting him with a very bright future on and off the screen.
