TheCreedfranchise honors all theRockymoviesby following Adonis, the son of Apollo Creed.
Apollo was played by Carl Weathers in severalRockymovies and was a close friend ofSylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa.
As is revealed in theCreedmovies, Apollo had an affair with a woman named Ms. Johnson before he died.
This is why Adonis was born after Apollo’s death.
The threeCreedmovies have chronicled much of Adonis' boxing career, but his age has not always been clear.
Therefore, ahead of theconfirmedCreed 4,let’s take a look at how old Adonis is in everyCreedmovie.
At the beginning of the firstCreedmovie, Adonis is finished college and is working an office job.
In fact, he wins the WBC World Heavyweight Championship at the beginning ofCreed II.
Therefore,Adonis is clearly in the prime of his career in the second film.
SinceCreed IIis set three years after the first movie, it makes sense for Adonis to be 32.
Adonis' age makes sense forCreed III’sstory, since he is clearly much more mature.
However,he comes out of retirement inCreed IIIto face his childhood friend, Damian Anderson.
