Creed III, from the spin-off series of the Rocky franchise, was set to hit the theaters on November 23 of 2022. Recently, it was even disclosed that actor Jonathan Majors is to be seen against actor Michael B. Jordan in this third Creed film. Although it is yet to be made official, there are theories that claim the return of the ruthless and mean Mr. T and his son in the upcoming Creed III.

Mr. T made his appearance in the Rocky franchise with the introduction of Clubber Lang in Rocky III (1982). In Creed II (2018), fans witnessed the homecoming of Ivan Drago and the introduction of his son Victor, who fought Adonis Creed. With the excitement and thrill of Creed III lingering in the air, here is a look back at Sylvester Stallone’s viral post.

After a few seconds with Frazier, Stallone realized it was a “homicidal concept” within him. Following the encounter with Frazier, Stallone changed his mind and casted Mr. T.
