The firstCreed 3trailer was released byMGM, which opens with a contemplative Adonis stating that the last seven years of his life have been built on the shoulders of three people in his life - Bianca (Tessa Thompson), Rocky, and his father. The trailer then introduces Damian Anderson (Majors,soon to face off against the Avengers), a friend from Adonis' past who has spent the last 18 years in jail. Adonis invites Damian to join him at his gym, and it quickly becomes apparent that something happened between Adonis and Damian in the past.
When Bianca asks what happened, Damian becomes irritated and theCreed 3trailer reveals that he’s become embittered by whatever went down between him and Adonis. As Damian begins to take up boxing and rises in the ranks, he becomes a formidable and dangerous fighter. Bianca tells Adonis that he must fight Damian. The trailer ends by teasing what will likely be one ofthe best fights in theRockyfranchise.
The relationship between Adonis and Damian will surely be central to the conflict ofCreed 3. What exactly occurred all those years ago between the both of them is being kept under wraps, but the trailer seems to imply that it might have been what led to Damian ending up in prison. Damian says that the two were like brothers, while Tony (Wood Harris) tells Adonis he must let go of the guilt he harbors.
SomeCreed 3set photosshow a jacked Majors and Jordanready to duke it out in the ring, and it looks like their fight will be one for the ages. TheCreed 3trailer teases plenty of raw aggression between the two men. If their relationship is salvageable, surely the real test between them will be in the ring.
