The third installment of “Creed” is being pushed back from Nov. 23, 2022, to March 3, 2023.
The movie, which is the ninth installment in the “Rocky” franchise, will face off against Paramount’s “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves”.
The threequel sees Michael B. Jordan in his third go-around as Adonis Creed, the son of Rocky Balboa’s fiercest competitor Apollo Creed.
Jordan is also directing the movie in his feature filmmaking debut.
Tessa Thompson is also set to reprise her role as Donnie’s girlfriend Bianca, Phylicia Rashad returns as his stepmother Mary Anne, and Jonathan Majors stars as Anderson Dame, an antagonist to Adonis.

“Creed III” will be the first “Rocky” movie without veteran actor Sylvester Stallone — who created the character and played the ultimate underdog Rocky Balboa in eight movies — at least making an appearance.
Stallone reprised his iconic role in the previous two installments as a mentor to Adonis.
The “Creed” sequel wraps up with Adonis making peace with his late father’s burdensome legacy and Rocky traveling to Vancouver to bury the hatchet with his estranged son and meet his grandson.

The movie, which was shot using Imax cameras, began production in early 2022 and wrapped in the middle of the year. Plot details for the third chapter are kept under wraps.
Keenan Coogler and Zach Baylin wrote the screenplay based on a story by Ryan Coogler, who directed the original “Creed".
The first spinoff was released in theaters in 2015 and followed the son of world champion boxer Apollo Creed. It successfully revived the “Rocky” franchise by grossing $109 million domestically and $173 million globally.
The sequel hit theaters in 2018 and generated $115 million in North America and $214 million worldwide.
