Undisputed Female World Champ Open to Playing Michael B. Jordan’s Character Adonis Creed’s Daughter in Potential ‘Creed IV’

Michael B Jordan is not just associated with Hollywood but also with the sport of boxing. His “Creed” film series is what he is best known for. He plays the role of a protagonist who is a populous boxer and one might argue, he is the “Rocky Balboa” of this generation. The third series of the “Creed”  film series was released recently and it featured Canelo Alvarez.

Another boxer who is inclined to be featured next in the film is Alycia Baumgardner. She recently became the undisputed super featherweight champion in women’s boxing. She attained the world championship in 2021 and has been defending her title multiple times.

What made Alycia Baumgardner interested in a role in “Creed IV”

Recently, a fan page name @QueensoftheR took to Twitter and stated, “Alycia Baumgardner should play Creed’s daughter in The next CREED. You know she’s gonna be fighting.”

To which, Baumgardner responded, “I’m for it”. 

The makers of the “Creed” film series want to have an accurate representation of the sport in their films. It is the primary reason why Alvarez was cast to play the role of a Mexican boxer.  Due to this Baumgardner can secure a role in the next series of the film and maybe even the role of Michael B Jordan’s daughter.

How much revenue has “Creed III” generated?

“Creed III” has had one of the biggest openings of all time. It appears that the third sequel of the film has more box office money on the opening weekend than every other Rocky movie combined. As per “Secret Rant”, Creed III earned $22.8 million just in their opening weekend.

Going by the numbers, the “Creed” series might very well have the same impact as the “Rocky” series. Though, when adjusted with inflation, the “Rocky” movies made way more money than the “Creed” series.

Either way, The success of the film benefits the sport and the athletes in it. If Baumgardner does land a role in the film it would assist her in becoming a household name.
