Tessa Thompson Talks Creed 3 and Introduces Us to Her Five-Year-Old Rescue Dog

Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut, Creed III, is now in theaters and stars Jordan, Jonathan Majors, and Tessa Thompson. Set three years after the events of Creed II, Jordan reprises his role as Adonis “Donnie” Creed, now the undisputed heavyweight champion. Donnie has not only made a name for himself with his career, and retired, but has built a life with his wife, Bianca, played by Thompson, who’s recently had to give up her own dreams of performing to salvage what’s left of her hearing. Thompson, who was first introduced as Bianca in the original Creed, directed by Ryan Coogler, is best-known for roles in Marvel Studio’s Thor saga as Valkyrie, Annihilation, and Justin Simien’s Dear White People. In Creed III, Donnie and Bianca are now cultivating a life together in LA, raising their daughter Amara (Mila Davis-Kent), when a friend from Donnie’s past, Damian “Dame” Anderson (Majors), is released from prison. With nothing else to his name, Dame still holds onto his dreams of becoming a champion boxe
