Warner Bros. and MGM Pictures
have released a brand new trailer for writer/director Ryan Coogler's reunion
with his Fruitvale Station star Michael B. Jordan, Creed.
In the Rocky spinoff, Jordan plays
Adonis, the son of the late world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who with
the help of Sylvester Stallone rises through the ranks to become a contender
for the title.
The new trailer gives a little
more of the story away, including some plot points that should be consider
spoilers as they probably take away some of the film's emotional surprise.
Opening on November 25, Creed
also stars Tessa Thompson (Selma) as Bianca a local
singer/songwriter that becomes involved with Adonis, Phylicia Rashad as Mary
Anne Creed, Apollo's widow, and English pro-boxer Anthony Bellew as
"Pretty" Rick Conlan as the current boxing champion.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures comes award-winning filmmaker Ryan Coogler’s
“Creed.” The film explores a new chapter in the “Rocky” story and stars
Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone in his iconic role. The film
also reunites Coogler with his “Fruitvale Station” star Michael B. Jordan as
the son of Apollo Creed.
Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never
knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died
before he was born. Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his
blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary
match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.
Once in the City of Brotherly
Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer.
Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in
Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo—the fierce rival
who became his closest friend. Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the
young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly
than any he faced in the ring.
With Rocky in his corner, it
isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title…but can he develop not
only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the
ring?
