After “Creed III” released in theaters on March 3, actor Michael B. Jordan is not finished portraying Adonis Creed until the city Philadelphia builds a statue of him.
The “Creed” franchise is set to have seven more installments before 2025. Jordan told the Barnacle that he’s the new Vin Diesel.
“If Stallone can get a Rocky statue after three movies, so can I,” said Jordan. “Also, I’ll never be the first Michael Jordan that
comes to people’s minds, so I need a legacy somewhere.”
Sources say that “Rocky” star, Sylvester Stallone, is not in favor of Jordan receiving a statue in Philadelphia.
“I’ve been in eight fucking movies,” Stallone said. “I had to block his number after I declined to join the third Creed installment.”
“We should’ve killed him off in ‘Creed II’,” Jordan said.
However, Philadelphia officials have no clue who Jordan is. One city official recognized the actor in mayor’s Jim Kinney’s office when they pulled out Jordan’s “Sexiest Man Alive” cover of People’s Magazine in 2020 in the bottom desk drawer.
“He seems like he has a nice personality,” Kinney’s representative told the Barnacle. “Also, I doubt anyone can recap what happened in a ‘Creed’ movie so a statue of one handsome man might throw the heart of Philly off.”
Mayor Kinney is open to displaying a painting of Jordan in the Philadelphia Museum of Art under one condition.
“He has to be nude,” Kinney’s representative said.
Jordan told the Barnacle he is open to posing nude if people are more attracted to the painting than visiting the Rocky statue.
