It’s time to put the boxing gloves back on and return to Philadelphia. The first trailer of Creed was just released, starring Michael B. Jordan (Adonis Creed) and Sylvester Stallone.
Rocky shares the spotlight with Adonis Creed, who is the son of rival-turned-friend Apollo Creed. Apollo Creed was Rocky’s competition in Rocky and Rocky II, soon becoming a friend in Rocky III and Rocky IV. During Rocky IV, Apollo Creed dies in the middle of the ring in a bout against Ivan Drago.
Adonis heads to Philly to seek out Rocky for training, catching him at his Italian restaurant. Rocky makes his appearance in the last minute and a half of the trailer.
“It ain’t about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” Creed is expected to hit theaters this fall.
