Creed IV is the upcoming sports drama film directed by Michael B. Jordan for Warner Bros. Pictures. It serves as the fourth installment in the Creed series following Creed in 2015, 2018's Creed II and 2023's Creed III. It is the tenth overall film in the Rocky franchise which began in 1976 and starred Sylvester Stallone.

Who's working behind-the-scenes of Creed IV?

The first Creed entry was directed by Ryan Coogler while the second was helmed by Steven Caple Jr. Franchise star Michael B. Jordan made his directorial debut with the third film which was the highest grossing film in the trilogy with $275 million.

Jordan continues his dual directing-and-leading duties as he helms Creed IV. He's best known for starring as Erik Killmonger in Black Panther and its sequel.

What is the story of Creed?

The story of Creed initially focused on the boxing journey of Adonis Creed, the protégé of Rocky Balboa.

The subsequent films in the Creed franchise continued exploring Adonis' experience as a boxer and desire to be a family man.

Will Rocky be in Creed IV?

Although he can always make a comeback, Rocky will most likely not appear in the fourth Creed entry as the character was not part of the third film and Sylvester Stallone has previously expressed his dissatisfaction with the franchise.
