'Creed' Star Michael B. Jordan Is Obviously Down for a Sequel

Screen Crush - Sun, 2015-11-29 08:50

'Creed' Star Michael B. Jordan Is Obviously Down for a Sequel Creed is great. It’s certainly better than most people thought it could be, with intensely great performances from Michael B.

Sylvester Stallone, on Passing the Torch from Rocky to Creed Fandango sat down one-on-one with Stallone at the Creed junket in New York to talk about passing the torch, his love for playing underdogs, and the knockout punch star Jordan actually took while filming. While Creed will be considered the seventh and final film in the long-running Rocky series, it may also be the start of a separate new franchise if it knocks audiences out.

Michael B. Jordan must live up to his father's legacy in new Creed TV spot It's always satisfying when a franchise manages to right itself after a less than stellar entry; sure, it took a few years but ROCKY BALBOA brought back a lot of the goodwill that ROCKY V lost.
