Moreover, with the recent release of Creed III, directed by Jordan himself, fans now have another reason to rejoice as a brand new comic series based on the franchise is set to hit shelves soon.

Despite Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone not being in the movie, it has done quite well at the box office. Jordan’s directorial debut received praise from many and also had a $100 million box-office collection worldwide in its opening week.
