When last we saw Adonis Creed in Creed II, he’d won his rematch fight against Viktor Drago, the son of Ivan Drago, the man who killed his father.
Stallone is supposedly currently at work on a director’s cut of Rocky IV, although no release date for the project has been announced.
And the Rocky series obviously has a long history of actor/directors; Sylvester Stallone directed Rockys II, III, IV, and Balboa.
Creed II made more money both domestically and overseas than the first Creed, all but guaranteeing a Creed III, whether or not Michael B. Jordan’s Donnie fights the son of Clubber Lang next.
