“Creed 3” has been making waves in the box offices, already grossing over $180 million worldwide in its first two weeks. The film is also making waves among the disability community as 10-year-old actress Mila Davis Kent is the first Black deaf actress to play a role in a major film.
In Creed III, Bianca and Michael B. Jordan's character Adonis 'Donnie' Creed are now parents to a deaf daughter named Amara, played by young deaf actress Mila Davis-Kent, meaning they both had to learn more ASL.
The highly anticipated film, Creed III, has a new addition to its cast– Mila Davis-Kent. Davis-Kent, a deaf actress, represents the deaf community in her role as Amara Creed, the daughter of Adonis Creed in the film.
It's been a big week for Mila Davis-Kent, the 10-year-old actor who stars opposite Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson and Jonathan Majors in “Creed III.”
Mila Davis-Kent (10), who is the first young Black Deaf girl actress to be featured in a major film, plays the character of Amara. In the movie, Amara is the Deaf daughter of Adonis and Bianca Creed, two of the main characters played by Michael B.
While Creed II came out only five years ago, the third installment takes place seven years after the previous film. This places the characters in the year 2025, and based on Adonis' birthday, he is either 38 or 39, depending on what time of the year the film takes place.
As Felix Chavez. The biggest real-life boxer role in Creed III is filled by José Benavidez, who plays the fictional boxer Felix Chavez. José Benavidez is a 30-year-old American boxer that mostly sticks to the welterweight class.
Mary Anne Creed (Phylicia Rashad), Apollo's widow, meets with Adonis and adopts him; informing him that he is Apollo Creed's son (sired from an extramarital affair).
The first Creed film revealed that Adonis was a foster child who was adopted by Maryanne, his father's wife. Creed 3 opens with a flashback to Adonis as a child living with Maryanne. Dame picks him up in the middle of the night, and they go to a boxing fight where Dame competes and wins the match.
In Creed, the audience sees Bianca as a strong woman who just happens to wear hearing aids, and is planning on learning sign language in case she becomes profoundly deaf. Adonis becomes smitten with her, and they fall in love. Her disability has nothing to do with their relationship. Creed 2 does the opposite.
Born in Creed II, Amara is the daughter of Adonis Creed and Bianca Taylor. Bianca's hearing loss has been present since the original Creed, but when Amara was born, the couple found out that their daughter would be fully deaf.
Thompson is a singer-songwriter who previously collaborated with the Los Angeles–based indie electro soul group, Caught a Ghost. She also made significant contributions to the soundtracks of Creed and Creed II by co-writing and performing multiple songs with producer Moses Sumney.
Portrayed by Tessa Thompson, Bianca suffers from progressive hearing loss and uses a hearing aid and there is no information about Bianca's upbringing or family life. She resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she meets Adonis Creed.
Expect violent fight scenes both in and out of the boxing ring as well as strong language (mostly "s--t"), drinking, and a bit of kissing and flirting between a married couple.
In the present day, three years after beating "Pretty" Ricky Conlan to avenge his only career defeat, Donnie has retired from boxing to focus on his wife Bianca and their 6-year-old daughter Amara, whose hearing impairment has since led the family to become fluent in American Sign Language.
Johnson is the biological mother Adonis Johnson Creed. She conceived her son via an affair with former heavyweight boxing champion Apollo Creed before he died in 1985. Her son was left orphaned after her death, until he was adopted by Mary Anne Creed, Apollo's widow, in the year 1998.

"That's a regretful situation because I know what it could have been," Stallone told THR about disagreeing with the new film's tone. "It was taken in a direction that is quite different than I would've taken it. "It's a different philosophy, Irwin Winkler's and Michael B. Jordan's.
Excitement is growing now that 'Creed III' is out in cinemas, and boxing fans are intrigued to see Canelo Alvarez on the big screen. The Mexican boxer features in the movie alongside Michael B. Jordan, and the actor spoke very highly of Canelo's acting skills.
