Warner Bros. has released a new featurette for the upcoming Rocky spinoff,
Creed, which focuses on the new generation of talent including Michael B. Jordan
as Adonis Johnson, and writer/director Ryan Coogler, who previously worked with
Jordan on the excellent Fruitvale Station, that has come onboard the franchise.
Creed opens on November 25.
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?
