Creed II Trailer
I’ll admit I was a little nervous about aCreedsequel. The first film worked so well, and the last thing it needed was to launch a franchise like theRockyseries – one that diminishes more and more with each film. Then there was the fact that original directorRyan Coogler wasn’t returning. All of this gave me pause. But the footage revealed for the film so far has been fantastic, and I’m now all-in on the follow-up. I’m also happy to hear the sequel isn’t going to be a simple tale of revenge. While the idea of Adonis fighting Victor Drago, the son of Ivan Drago, has the potential to be somewhat predictable and even a little cheesy, Michael B. Jordan addressed the plotline recently, andofferedsome insight:
“The two guys are similar in a lot of ways… Adonis feels, naturally, a certain animosity towards Viktor and Ivan, and then there are other themes in there: the maturity of growth, the importance of family, of legacy, is what makes Creed so special. It’s not just about revenge. It’s about a lot of things… If we get that lesson across, then I think we’ve made a pretty special movie.”
In addition to Jordan and Stallone,Tessa Thompson,Phylicia Rashad,Wood Harris, andAndre Wardall return from the first film. New cast members includeFlorian Munteanuas Victor Drago, andDolph Lundgrenreprising his role as Ivan Drago.Steven Caple Jr.directs the film. ““It’s an honor to be a part of the franchise and work with such a thoughtful team,” Caple Jr. said. “I got involved because I’ve always been a Rocky fan and I enjoy stories with heart and substance. But when Ryan put his touch onCreedI felt another level of connection to the franchise. It started to feel personal for many different reasons. This nextCreedis a tale beyond the boxing ring and dives deeps into family, legacy, and fears.”
