It may be hard to believe, but it’s somehow been three years already since Michael B. Jordan’s knockout directorial debut Creed III<\/a> hit cinemas, delivering a haymaker at the box-office and swiftly spawning talk of a sprawling new Creed-verse<\/a> from MBJ’s Outlier Society label. Now, per Deadline<\/a>‘s reporting, one of Jordan’s spin-off-of-a-spin-off plans (lest we forget, the Creed<\/a> series is itself a Rocky<\/a> off-shoot) \u2014 namely Prime Video bound elite boxing academy series Delphi \u2014 has actually revealed its line-up and entered production in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Hailing from showrunner Marco Ramirez (The Defenders<\/a>, Daredevil<\/a>), Delphi “follows a group of gifted young boxers in an elite academy fighting to achieve their dreams and reach the pinnacle of the sport.” Among Delphi’s young boxers will be dysfunctional brothers Santi (Benji Santiago) and Nico Torres (Juan Castano), and introverted, anxious, yet incredibly talented wunderkind Kai Katsaros (Victoria Vourkoutiotis). They’re joined by Demi\u00e1n Bichir as tough-love Torres family patriarch (and gym owner) Hector; Andr\u00e9 Holland as boxing strategist and Delphi Academy lead instructor Teddy \u2018T-Bone\u2019 Parker; Andre Royo as walking boxing encyclopaedia Elmer Tatum, a man who ‘can predict a final outcome based on what the fighters had for breakfast’; Sofia Black-D\u2019Elia as accountant with elite boxing academy trainer ambitions Bobbi Weiss; and Wood Harris as Little Duke, legendary trainer of Apollo Creed and current trainer of Delphi Academy’s new contenders.<\/p>\n

Ramirez is cooking already here with a rock-solid ensemble of instantly intriguing-sounding characters and a hooky Cobra Kai<\/a>-ish premise, and that’s even without knowing anything about the rest of the series’ regulars: Niles Fitch’s Dante, Dasan Frazier’s Remy, Graham Patrick Martin’s Jackson, Brittany Adebumola’s Mina, Rene Moran’s Iggy, Okieriete Onaodowan’s Freddie, and Breanna Yde’s Ana. We look forward to finding out whether Michael B. Jordan and co’s latest entry in the expanded Rocky<\/a> universe is gonna fly now \u2014 or if it’s got the streaming equivalent of a glass jaw \u2014 whenever it eventually lands on Prime Video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It may be hard to believe, but it’s somehow been three years already since Michael B.
