Michael B. Jordan News
Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) faced a massive opponent both physically and metaphorically in Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren) in ROCKY IV, so it’s befitting Michael B. Jordan do the same in CREED 2.

As the seventh installment in the Rocky franchise and a soft-reboot in its own right, Creed had a lot to live up to. The film tells the story of boxing champion Apollo Creed’s son Adonis, (Michael B. Jordan) as he fights to emerge from his father’s long shadow, training with Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and struggling to achieve greatness.
