‘Creed III’: Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson on Their ‘Very Weird’ Experience Before Filming

It’s no secret that Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson did a lot of work in preparation for Creed III. The duo, who first worked together on Creed in 2015, wanted to make sure that their characters felt as real and nuanced as possible. The actors did a deep exploration of who their characters were in this iteration of the trilogy, as individuals, as parents, and as a couple. They even did something together that Thompson considered “very weird,” but ultimately was a great way to explore their characters.

‘Creed III’ stars Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson used an unorthodox strategy for character preparation

Anyone who has seen Creed III knows that Thompson’s character, Bianca, encourages therapy throughout the movie. Interestingly enough, the importance of therapy wasn’t restricted to the film. As part of their character work, both Jordan and Thompson actually attended therapy together. “Mike and I actually went to therapy together,” Thompson revealed to Refinery29. “We did couples therapy.”
