‘Creed II’ stars Michael B. Jordan and Florian Munteanu talk about the pivotal theme of family in the franchise's second installment
This past weekend MEAWW attended ComplexCon, a curated convention and festival focusing on art, media, fashion, entertainment and the influence that these factors have on our culture today. One of the highlights of the event was the 'Creed II' panel with stars Michael B. Jordan and Florian Munteanu who spoke on how the franchise has evolved and what to expect in the highly anticipated sequel.
'Creed II' continues the 'Rocky' legacy with a follow-up narrative of sorts. In 'Rocky IV', Apollo Creed met his fate during a tragic match against Russian boxer Ivan Drago. Now in the second installment of 'Creed', Apollo’s son Adonis Creed (played by Michael B. Jordan) accepts a challenge from Drago's son Viktor Drago (played by Florian Munteanu). Both men want to prove themselves and make their father (or their father’s legacy) proud. While Drago is assuredly the villain of the newest film, at its core, both men are fighting for what is most important to them — their family.
