‘Creed III’ writer once thought the ‘Rocky’ spinoff franchise was one massive prank

With Creed III gearing up for its theatrical release this weekend, it’s now full speed ahead for the illustrious sports drama franchise. Director Michael B. Jordan and company have come a long way since the world saw a brand new spin on the Rocky canon back in 2015, and with Jordan’s directorial debut getting that sweet preemptive thumbs-up from critics, the only way is up.

But for Keenan Coogler, one of the film’s co-scribes alongside Zach Baylin (King Richard), there was a time when Creed was nothing more than a practical joke that his older brother Ryan (Black Panther series of films, Creed, Fruitvale Station) was playing on him; or so he thought.
