On May 12, 2025 it was announced that Prime Video was expanding the Creed-Verse by ordering Delphi, a Creed spinoff series that will focus on the young boxers at the Delphi gym seen in the Rocky and Creed movies. One year and one week later, we know who’s going to be starring in the series.
Deadline reports that the Delphi cast includes Benji Santiago (Broadway’s The Notebook), Juan Castano (Rob Peace), Demián Bichir (Black Phone 2), André Holland (Love, Brooklyn), Andre Royo (The Punisher: One Last Kill), Sofia Black-D’Elia (Remarkably Bright Creatures), and Victoria Vourkoutiotis (Elsbeth), all of whom are taking on series regular roles.
In recurring roles, we’ll see Wood Harris (The Wire), Niles Fitch (Forever), Dasan Frazier (A Different World), Graham Patrick Martin (Catch-22), Brittany Adebumola (M.I.A.), Rene Moran (Cross), Okieriete Onaodowan (Hamilton), and Breanna Yde (School of Rock).
Coming our way from Michael B. Jordan’s production company Outlier Society, Delphi follows a group of gifted young boxers in an elite academy fighting to achieve their dreams and reach the pinnacle of the sport.
Production is now underway in Los Angeles.
Deadline lets us know that Santiago’s character is Santi Torres. “Raised in East LA, Santi is a raw talent who has always lived in the shadow of his older brother.”
That older brother is Castano’s Nico Torres. “He is a naturally gifted boxer whose personal setbacks have forced him to confront his innermost demons.”
Bichir will play Hector Torres. “The Torres family patriarch, Hector was born in Mexico and now lives in Los Angeles, where he owns and operates a boxing gym in East LA. Worn and wise, he takes a tough-love approach to raising his sons — demanding the world from them while fiercely advocating on their behalf.”
Holland is Teddy ‘T-Bone’ Parker. “A boxing strategist and lead instructor at the Delphi Academy, T-Bone approaches boxing like chess — intellectual and calculated, with a sensitivity that belies the bloodsport to which he’s dedicated his life.”
Royo’s character is Elmer Tatum. “An eccentric boxing encyclopedia, Bronx-born and effortlessly cool, he can predict a final outcome based on what the fighters had for breakfast.”
Black-D’Elia plays Bobbi Weiss. “An accountant with a dream of pursuing her true passion: becoming a trainer at an elite boxing academy. Bobbi has boxing in her bones — with extensive knowledge of the sport and a keen eye for talent despite never having stepped in the ring herself.”
Vourkoutiotis is Kai Katsaros. “An introverted young boxer with incredible ability and skill who battles to overcome low confidence, high anxiety and stage fright in pursuit of her potential.”
Wood Harris reprises the role of Tony “Little Duke” Evers, a character he played in all three Creed movies. “Son of Tony ‘Duke’ Evers and the legendary trainer of Apollo Creed, he continues that legacy today by training the young talent from the Delphi Academy.”
Fitch plays Dante, with Frazier as Remy, Martin as Jackson, Adebumola as Mina, Moran as Iggy, Onaodowan as Freddie, and Yde as Ana.
Delphi‘s showrunner is Marco Ramirez, who is executive producing alongside Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo for Outlier Society, Winkler Films’ Irwin Winkler, David Winkler, Charles Winkler, and Sebastian Winkler, as well as William Chartoff, Philipp A. Barnett, Jennifer Johnson, and José Padilha, who is directing the pilot.
