Michael B. Jordan pushes himself in training to prep for Creed 3.
Ahead of the third film in the Creed series, actor Michael B. Jordan is hitting the weights hard. The Black Panther star is looking to pack some muscle onto his frame to once again embody the role of Adonis Creed in the upcoming film.
These days it isn’t enough for an actor to just be able to memorize their lines. It’s all about full immersion and in order for audiences to believe what they’re seeing on screen is true, an actor must fully embody their role. Playing a pro bodybuilder? Better hit the gym and bulk up your frame. Playing a secret agent? You better get weapons training and again hit the gym to get your body in tip top condition. And of course, there’s the superhero. That one is self-explanatory. For actor Michael B. Jordan playing such roles are nearly second nature at this point.
From Creed to Black Panther, Michael B. Jordan has had to stay in the gym to play the iconic roles of Adonis Creed and Eric Killmonger. He’s fully embraced the reality of building a body worthy of these physically demanding roles. You can’t play a boxer and not build a fighter’s physique. These days it’s just unheard of.
So ahead of Creed 3 Michael B. Jordan once again finds himself in the gym, taking his physique to the next level. In order to pull off playing a championship caliber boxer Jordan has once again enlisted the help of his long-time trainer Corey Calliet.
Veteran Trainer
An experienced bodybuilder and personal trainer, Corey Calliet is no stranger to body transformations. He’s cornered a market on training celebrities after all which means Calliet clearly knows his stuff. He’s built up his own impressive physique over time which shows that he has the formula to get into incredible shape.
