Leyva plays the momager to Creed's successor played Jose Benavidez Jr. but she didn't know much about boxing and Benavidez had never acted before. So they made a deal to show each other the ropes. The actress also chats with us about working with a first-time director.
CREED III is in movie theaters on March 3, and critics are praising Michael B. Jordan's directorial debut. Another standout is Selenis Leyva's (Lopez vs Lopez, Gordita Chronicles) performance as Laura, momager to Adonis' mentee played by Jose Benavidez Jr. When it comes to her son's boxing career, Laura doesn't pull the punches, and Leyva delivers an authentic character usually reserved for the males outside the ring.
The actress reveals how she formed the character and her impression of Jordan as a filmmaker.
