"Probably before the end of the year, probably mid-November or so. Right after this one (Tom Clancy's 'Without Remorse'), I'm in full prep mode," Jordan said on "The Jess Cagle Podcast With Julia Cunningham", reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The first "Creed" film opened in 2015, followed by "Creed II" in 2018. Both films were globally successful. The franchise is a spin-off of the iconic "Rocky" series of films starring Sylvester Stallone as the fictional boxing ace Rocky Balboa.
