Winkler appeared at Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles event on Saturday and revealed that the fourth installment of the movie is in the works, saying, "We have a really good story and plot. We are planning to do Creed IV right now."

He blamed the seven-month-long SAG-AFTRA strike for the delay in the MGM Amazon Studios pic, announcing, "About a year from now(November 2023) we are going into pre-production."

Winkler produced Creed III with Michael B Jordan at the helm of it, and it appeared to be a success, amassing a total of $275 million at the global box office.
