New Creed III set photos showcase the slight transformation that Majors has undergone for the role. While he’s always been extremely fit, Majors now looks noticeably bigger and more like a boxer in the series of photos. It’s unclear what the filming is being done for, but with Majors working out in a variety of the photos, it could be some sort of training montage or sequence for Majors’ character, who is set to star opposite Michael B. Jordan.
Check out the Creed III set photos below:
The role marks another big part for Majors, whose credits also include Da 5 Bloods, Jungleland, Captive State, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, White Boy Rick, and When We Rise. He will next appear in Jeymes Samuel’s drama western The Harder They Fall and the war drama Devotion. Majors is also set to portray Kang The Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania following his appearance in Marvel Studios’ Loki.
