(from February 2023) While Adonis Creed lost the first fight against Viktor Drago then beat him in the second fight, I think he will lose to Damien in III, which I also think will feature one big fight at the end, with montages throughout of other fights showcasing Damien's rise. While it appears this film is strong enough without even a Rocky Balboa cameo- it seems the fourth entry may have even more heart, with Viktor and Rocky helping train Adonis for his rematch.

But, all of this depends on what went down between Donny and Dame that split their friendship. Maybe we'll end up rooting for Damien? Can't wait to see this in theaters next month, so glad the trailers didn't spoil anything!
