Creed 3 marks Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut

Michael B. Jordan stated that directing the upcoming sports drama sequel has allowed him to fulfil an old dream of his. He talked about how producer Ryan Coogler pushed him to take the leap and do what he’d always wanted to do. Jordan also recalled seeing Coogler direct a film for the first time and how it made him feel represented. “Directing, for me, was something that I didn’t think was possible until working with Ryan Coogler,” he explained. “The first time I stepped on set for Fruitvale Station and saw a young black man from a similar place as me, around my age, directing a feature film… I saw myself in him.”

“And Ryan eventually told me, ‘Mike, there’s no right time for this—when you find something that speaks to you, just jump for it and go for it,’” the actor articulated. Jordan further added, “I’ve been quietly watching and learning, listening, and putting together things that inspire and excite me. And that’s what I did with ‘Creed III.”
