Creed III got a massive response which is evident from the box office collection. It is now finally available to rent or buy with an Amazon Prime subscription. To celebrate the movie making its way to the platform, the sports flick’s star and director, Michael B. Jordan, shared a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos to celebrate the occasion.
However, key actor Jonathan Majors was the one who was noted to be absent. The A-lister plays the main antagonist opposite Jordan in the third tale in Adonis’ saga, but he is nowhere to be seen. This led to the fans wondering if his absence has anything to do with the Ant-Man & Wasp: Quantumania actor’s recent legal troubles.
Michael B. Jordan took to Instagram to share a wonderfully shot compilation of images that, fittingly, work as a bit of a sports montage for Adonis. The actor’s latest batch of behind the scene images shows him in and out of character as Adonis Creed, training and fighting in the ring.
The photos also give fans a glimpse of the Fruitvale Station star’s time behind the camera, directing for the first time. Jordan captioned his social media post with a simple question to fans, “What’s your favorite scene?”
The absence of Jonathan Majors is quite noticeable. In the third Creed film, Majors plays Damian “Dame” Anderson, a childhood friend–turned-antagonist to Adonis. The Lovecraft Country alum features heavily in the movie, so it is a bit awkward not to see any sign of him in these behind-the-scenes images. This could be an intentional choice on MBJ’s part, due to the fact Majors was recently charged with assault and harassment after being arrested in New York City.
According to reports, the rising actor was charged with several offenses, including strangulation, assault, and harassment. The incident allegedly occurred during a heated argument with his girlfriend in a taxi as they returned home from a Brooklyn bar.
The unidentified woman claimed that she saw Jonathan Majors texting another woman, which led to a confrontation. The situation purportedly escalated, and the woman alleged that Majors grabbed her hand, slapped her, and put his hands around her neck.
