We all know the story about how one little fight changed the life of a kid from West Philadelphia. It’s time to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and what better way to do it than a reunion show.

Earlier this year pics of Will Smith and his co-stars of the classic sitcom service on Instagram. We all knew it was a reunion of some sort but did believe we’d get a front roll to sit into their discussion.

This Thursday the reunion show will be going live on the streaming platform HBO Max, which houses the original show and could be an indicator that the dramatized remake has found a home.

From talks of Will Smith’s bad acting throughout the first season, the impact of losing James Avery (Uncle Phil), to Will having a sit down with Janet Hubert (first Aunt Viv). This is a very big deal since it’s been publicly known why she was replaced, the friction between Will and her in later seasons.

This reunion looks to be a great opportunity to catch up with some of our favorite characters and learn the behind-the-scenes story’s. Watch the trailer below and catch the reunion on HBO Max this Thursday.

Star of the Creed film franchise, Michael B. Jordan as the late Apollo Creed’s son, Adonis Johnson Creed, a boxing champion that is walking in his father’s footsteps with the help of Rocky Balboa.

This film franchise helped to breath new life into the Rocky franchise that seemed to be on life support following its 2006 release of Rocky Balboa.

The first films director by Ryan Coogler was great, and had fans clamoring for a sequel. While Creed II may have not lived up to the hype, a third installment with Jordan not only returning as a star but the director is interesting enough for fans to turn out.

In a recent report from Deadline that mainly talked about big box office films considering a streaming release, Creed III was mentioned in passing, saying there’s possibility Michael B Jordan is considering to direct the film.

While nothing has been confirmed yet, Rocky franchise producer Irwin Winkler, mentioned the potential opportunity in his book A Life in Movies: Stories From 50 Years in Hollywood, saying, “I promised Michael B. Jordan that he’d get his chance to direct Creed III. Last year in a conversation with our Creed star Michael B. Jordan, I offered him the opportunity to not only star in, but also to direct Creed III.”

What’s your thoughts on this news? Are you excited for another installment into the Rocky/Creed franchise?
