Theatrical Trailer for Creed II, starring Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Wood Harris and Russell Hornsby.
Under the tutelage of Rocky Balboa, newly crowned light heavyweight champion Adonis Creed faces off against Viktor Drago, the son of Ivan Drago.
And who is Ivan Drago's son? Well, it turns out that UFC Fighter Sage Northcutt worked overtime to campaign through Social Media to land the role of Ivan Drago's son.
And speaking of roles, it has been rumored that Milo Ventimiglia will reprise his role of Rocky's son.
This movie looks perfectly acceptable. The trailer for Creed II would be good, if I didn't have reservations about the story. Such as why we felt the need to go back to Rocky IV in the first place. That film ended on a bit of an uplifting note. You know, that people can get over their hostility to one another. But, decades later, there still seems hostility between Rocky and Ivan.
Hypocrisy maybe? Sounds like it. Unless they can somehow have the story end just as uplifting, but certainly doesn't feel that way.
