While Jordan has already directed Creed 3 and is set to helm Creed 4, breaking Stallone’s record as the biggest director in the Rocky franchise requires at least two more Creed films.
Sylvester Stallone directed eight movies in the Rocky series, establishing himself as a pivotal force both on and off-screen. Michael B. Jordan, having directed Creed 3 and committed to Creed 4, is on track to potentially surpass Stallone’s directorial record, but it would necessitate helming Creed 5, Creed 6, and Creed 7.
The shift in focus from Rocky Balboa to Adonis Creed in the Creed movies signifies a new era for the franchise, and Michael B. Jordan is following Stallone’s footsteps not only as the lead actor but also as a director. Stallone directed the four standalone Rocky films after John G. Avildsen, the original director, returned for Rocky V.
To break Stallone’s record, Jordan must successfully direct three more Creed sequels after Creed 4. While this achievement seems plausible, the likelihood of it happening remains uncertain. Jordan’s career aspirations, potential other directing opportunities, and the evolving landscape of the Creed franchise will play pivotal roles in determining whether he can surpass Stallone’s directorial legacy in the Rocky series. The immediate focus remains on Creed 4’s success, and the prospect of Creed 5, Creed 6, and Creed 7 remains speculative at this point.
