Actors Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors, who are starring in the upcoming Creed 3 will be in attendance. The Creed franchise is led by Jordan’s directory and Majors is the producer of the film. It will be exciting to see the two, who are readying for the much-awaited sequel of the franchise. NBA analyst, Stephen A. Smith will also be playing a small role in the movie and tweeted about the movie’s release on his Twitter account.
Both of them will be probably campaigning for their upcoming movie, which will be hitting theatres on March 3, 2023. It is also the first time that Sylvester Stallone won’t be featured in a movie for the franchise. Stallone played a major part in 8 movies. However, this time the franchise will be continuing with the life of Adonis Creed played by Jordan.
Who will be announcing the NBA All-Stars?
With everything ready for the show, LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo will be the captains for the All-Star game. This will be James’ 6th time as a captain in his 20-year career. However, Giannis is a doubt for the game but may participate in the Draft for the All-Star game. The announcer for the All-Star game will be Vin Diesel from the Fast Saga.
