“Creed” Continues On

In 2015, the world was introduced to Creed. This action-packed film followed the son of Apollo Creed, Adonis Johnson as he finds his own way in boxing with the help of a very familiar face, Rocky Balboa. As one of the hits of the year, Creed sold out box offices everywhere!

Just yesterday, it was announced that MGM and Warner Bros. will collaborate to bring us Creed 2!

This time, Sylvester Stallone will not direct the movie. Filmmaker, Steven Caple Jr. will direct the Creed sequel which will star Stallone and Michael B. Jordan.

Excited for Coogler to hand over the reins to Steven Caple, Jr. – our director for Creed 2! Can’t wait to bring you guys the next chapter of our story … coming at you November 2018. 👊🏾👊🏾 #Creed2
