The film hit theaters in November 2018, with Steven Caple Jr. (The Land) having taken over directorial duties from Ryan Coogler (Black Panther), and saw larger box office success than its predecessor and more strong reviews from critics and audiences alike.
Ryan Coogler (Black Panther), who directed the first film, returns to the franchise as an executive producer on Creed II.
Creed II will be distributed theatrically in the U.S. by MGM on November 21, 2018, and Warner Bros. Pictures will distribute the film internationally.
Creed II was the continuation of the Rocky saga and sequel to the 2015 critically-acclaimed and crowd-pleasing 2015 hit Creed, which took in more than $170 million at the worldwide box office.
