PUBLISHED AUG 7, 2018

The first official stills from the Michael B. Jordan-starring sequel 'Creed II' are out. Jordan plays the role of Adonis Creed, a talented heavyweight boxer who never knew his famous father Apollo Creed. The quintessential underdog, Adonis seeks out the help of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa to help him train and ascend to the zenith of boxing. 

It was announced previously that 'Creed II' will follow up on the story of its predecessor and see Adonis returning to work with Rocky to prepare for the big fight with the son of Ivan Drago. Yes, the son of the same former Russian fighter who killed his father in the ring even before he was born.
