Creed 3 plot

The third installment of the franchise takes place seven years after the last movie, and everything seems to be going well for Donnie, who is now the light heavyweight champion and is living the life of his dreams with his musician wife Bianca and their daughter, Amara. However, peace won't last for long as Damian "Dame" Anderson is back.

Damian and Donnie were childhood friends, but the former ended up in prison for 18 years while the latter found success. Now that Damien is out, he will seek vengeance for being robbed of his career. The two rivals, who were once brothers, will have to fight out their differences inside the arena.

The official plot synopsis of the Michael B. Jordan movie, according to IMDb, is as follows:

"After dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) has been thriving in both his career and family life. When childhood friend and former boxing prodigy Damian (Jonathan Majors) resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison, he is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring."
