Speaking about his directorial debut, Creed III, he said, \u201cThere were a lot of fight moments that I saw in anime that I thought would be great to incorporate in Creed 3, to bring out the feeling of this sequence. Like, how do you achieve something in animation that feels so supernatural? How do you bring that to different media?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the past, Jordan named the boxing anime Hajime No Ippo as a major influence for his film Creed III. According to him, the anime shaped several sequences, artistic choices, and even emotional character arcs for Donnie and Damian.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Creed III\u00a0is currently available to stream on Prime Video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/joseph-kosinski-says-d-lucky-073902214.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Joseph Kosinski Says He\u2019d Be &quot;Lucky&quot; to Cast Austin Butler and Michael B.
