The Creed 4 release date is a major talking point for fans of the Rocky franchise. As the direct sequel to Creed III, the film continues the story of Adonis Creed, played by Michael B. Jordan, who also directed the third installment. Although Creed 4 has been officially confirmed, updates have been limited as the creative team focuses on timing and quality over speed.
What is the Creed 4 release date estimate?
Creed 4 release date estimate is sometime in 2027 or 2028.
This estimate is based on Michael B. Jordan’s recent comments indicating he’s intentionally delaying production to let the franchise “breathe” and build audience demand. While early plans suggested pre-production might begin in 2024, there has been no confirmation of filming starting.
The ongoing pause suggests a theatrical release may not occur until late 2027 or 2028. With the typical 4–6 month gap between theatrical and streaming debuts, the likely streaming release would fall in early or late 2028.
Creed 4 news and updates
Creed 4 was announced in November 2023, with Irwin Winkler confirming that a script was in place. He also indicated that Jordan would return as director. In 2025, Jordan reiterated that while he intends to continue the franchise, he wants to wait until the right moment, stating: “Give it a little time to breathe, make people want it, miss it a little bit.” (via GQ)
The film is expected to explore new layers of Adonis Creed’s character while potentially continuing the arc of Damian Anderson (played by Jonathan Majors), though Majors’ legal issues could affect casting decisions.
The expected cast includes Michael B. Jordan (Adonis Creed), Tessa Thompson (Bianca), Mila Davis-Kent (Amara Creed), and possibly Florian Munteanu (Viktor Drago). Jonathan Majors’ involvement remains uncertain due to off-screen controversies.
No official synopsis has been released, but the story is likely to follow Adonis as he navigates personal and professional challenges after the events of Creed III, with a possible focus on fatherhood and legacy.
