In December 2018, in response to the suggestion that Deontay Wilder could play the son of Clubber Lang in a potential 'Creed III', both Sylvester Stallone and Michael B. Jordan expressed interest in such a character featuring in the plot of the next installment. In September 2019, Jordan confirmed that 'Creed III' was officially in active development.

In February 2020, Zach Baylin was announced as screenwriter, with Jordan confirmed to reprise his role as Adonis Creed. In October 2020, it was reported that, in addition to reprising his role of Adonis Creed, Jordan would also direct 'Creed III', serving as his directorial debut. Producers had expressed interest in having Jordan serve as director, with Irwin Winkler stating that he had personally offered the position to the actor. In April 2021, Stallone announced he would not appear as Rocky Balboa in the film. By June 2021, Jonathan Majors entered talks to portray Adonis' new adversary. In November 2021, it was officially confirmed that Majors would appear in the film. In April 2022, it was announced that Wood Harris and Florian Munteanu would reprise their roles from previous 'Creed' films, while Selenis Leyva, Thaddeus J. Mixson, Spence Moore II and Mila Davis-Kent joined the cast. In September 2022, Mexican boxer Canelo lvarez was cast in an undisclosed role.

Tyler Nelson serves as the film's editor.
