Here’s your latest, no-fluff update on Creed IV and the expanding Creed universe—packed with everything that matters right now.
Lead: Creed 4 Confirmed, But the Timing Is TBD
Michael B. Jordan has affirmed that Creed IV is definitely happening, though without a set schedule. He emphasized that a sequel won’t come just for the sake of it—it must have the right story and timing . Production remains in the early stages, with no official release date or filming window announced yet .
Why This Matters Now
The Creed franchise remains a box-office heavyweight and cultural touchstone. Creed III, which marked Jordan’s directorial debut, was both a critical and financial triumph, grossing over $276 million worldwide . Jordan’s careful approach to Creed IV reflects a strategic focus on quality over speed, ensuring audience interest stays high rather than being diluted by unnecessary sequels .
Creed Universe Expansion: Spin-Offs Moving Forward
Beyond Creed IV, the Creed-Verse is growing. A TV series titled Delphi—set at the iconic Delphi Boxing Academy—is underway at Amazon’s Prime Video, with Michael B. Jordan executive producing and Marco Ramirez attached as showrunner . This series, which follows young boxers training at Delphi Gym, is seen as the first in what will be multiple Creed universe projects .
Jordan has also hinted at another spin-off centered around Amara Creed, Adonis’s daughter, reinforcing the narrative’s long-term growth beyond his central role .
The Drago Spin-Off Remains in Limbo
A rumored Drago-centric spin-off, focusing on Ivan Drago and his son Viktor, is still in development. Dolph Lundgren confirmed MGM had explored this storyline, though the focus has shifted back to Creed IV, and the status of that project remains unclear .
Tensions with Sylvester Stallone—Status Unclear
Sylvester Stallone’s involvement in future projects is uncertain. The relationship with producer Irwin Winkler has been strained, and Stallone didn’t appear in Creed III . Some fans speculate that the franchise is positioning itself to evolve without Rocky Balboa, focusing instead on Adonis and new characters .
