Creed II is the sequel to 2015’s Creed, and once again stars Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa and Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Creed.
The new film will see Adonis climbing into the ring with Viktor Drago — played by professional boxer Florian Munteanu — who is the son of Ivan Drago.
I’m trying to imagine Creed 2 endings. He can’t kill Drago and Drago can’t kill him. He also can’t just win straight up. Maybe they go 1972 Olympics and the judges rob Creed of the win setting up Creed 3?

Fans will remember that in 1985’s Rocky IV, Ivan and Apollo Creed — Adonis’ father (played by Carl Weathers) — faced off and Ivan ended up inadvertently killing Apollo. He later went head to head with Rocky and lost.
In addition to the aforementioned cast members, Creed II also features Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Andre Ward, and Wood Harris. There are also reports that Brigitte Nielsen will reprise her role as the Drago family matriarch from Rocky IV and that Milo Ventimiglia will be returning as Robert Balboa Jr., a role he first played in the sixth Rocky film.
