One of the most exciting moments featured Jordan and Majors for their first ever conversation together. They answered a number of questions about “Creed III,” which debuts in theaters March 3, 2023. The two discussed working together, what they admired about one another, how they trained for the film and an exclusive on who’s executively producing the soundtrack.
Jordan makes his directorial debut for the franchise film he will also star in alongside Majors. The moderator asked Jordan which artists fans could expect to be featured on the film’s soundtrack. With newly added pressure as director, he notes that he may get in trouble for sharing this information. He happily says to the crowded room of audience goers and an Amazon Music livestream, “Dreamville will executive produce the soundtrack.”
That’s major! Besides dropping the inside scoop on the highly-anticipated film’s soundtrack, we also learned a bit about Majors’ process while preparing for the movie. Artist Tupac is a huge component to Majors becoming Damian Anderson, the antagonist in the upcoming film. Jordan recalls Majors arriving to set each day with Tupac blasting.
Jordan remembers telling his second assistant director, “That’s Majors. Let him rock.”
When discussing the common themes throughout the film, Jordan also shares what he wants fans to takeaway from the next “Creed.” He says that identity has always been a popular trope throughout each of the movies and he hopes that fans “figure out who you are.”
