Michael B. Jordan has extensively prepared for his directorial debut film Creed III. It was previously revealed that he asked for directing advice from veteran actor and Film Critic Award-winning director Denzel Washington and Golden Globe Award-nominated director Bradley Cooper.

The actor is serious about directing the film and wants to give it his all. However, he knew he still had so much to learn, and it wouldn’t hurt to take a cue from other actors turned filmmakers. He said, “Talking with Denzel [Washington] and Bradley Cooper and others who have directed themselves, they told me you have to find your groove and your pace with your first AD and actors.”

He continued, “But it’s also like having a superpower: within your performance, you can also direct. It saves some time in some areas, because you get a chance to self-correct in the moment. So that’s a liberating experience to have. It became fun after a while.”

Despite the challenges of stepping up as the film’s director, he successfully wrapped up the film and detailed the most interesting part of it “I think he has an intensity and a realness of character we haven’t seen before. He’s a grounded character who’s antagonistic by nature, but it comes from an honest place, real emotions. He’s not a moustache-twirling villain; I wanted people to understand him, and to make it hard for people. I think those make for the most complicated and interesting ones to watch.”
