The CREED franchise will expand on Amazon with an anime series and other projects

With Creed III exploding at the box office, Amazon Studios is looking to expand the franchise, and the studio is looking to build a universe that will span both film and TV. They actively met with the star of the franchise and the director Michael B. Giordano about several I believerelated projects in the last year.

One of the many projects that have been discussed so far is an anime series, which is already in the works. There are also ideas for “a companion live-action TV series.” Another idea being talked about is a project centered around Adonis Creed’s daughter Amara, played by deaf actress Mila Davis-Kent in Creed III.

Outside of Creed, there is a Drago spin-off film in the works at MGM that was written by Robert Lawton. The spin-off would center on Rocky Balboa’s nemesis, Russian boxer Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), and his son, Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu) who was introduced as Creed’s opponent in Creed II. It’s unclear if this is continuing.

Jordan previously said that “building the Creed universe is something I’m really excited about.” There is the prospect of more I believe movies, with various other ideas also including live-action and animated movies.

There are big plans for Creed, and the one person who seems to be left out of it all is Sylvester Stallone. The guy who started it all. He shared his ideas about his future Rockyand has tried to get the rights back to the franchise, but it’s an uphill battle that he most likely won’t win.

There has been talk over the years of exploring the history of the iconic boxer, including his origins. But we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. What do you think of Amazon trying to build a Creed universe?
