MICHAEL B. JORDAN IS ADONIS, APOLLO CREED'S SON IN THE UPCOMING 'ROCKY' SPIN-OFF FILM, 'CREED'
Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone's mega-successful 'Rocky' boxing movie franchise looks set to continue towards the end of the year with the release of a brand new film entitled 'Creed', although this time around the character of Rocky Balboa will not be heading into the ring. Instead the main action will centre on the son of his former friend and rival, Apollo Creed (who appeared in the first four 'Rocky' movies), Adonis, played by Michael B. Jordan, who impressed many with his sensitive performance in the Sundance Film Festival 2013 winning drama, 'Fruitvale Station' and is now set to appear in the big budget summer release 'Fantastic Four'. The story will involve Balboa acting as a mentor to the young boxer.

The first trailer has been released and contains some interesting pieces of information, including the fact that Adonis states that he never met his father, who passed away in 'Rocky IV'. The cast includes Phylicia Rashad who plays Mary Anne Creed (Apollo's widow and the mother of Adonis) and Tessa Thompson ('Dear White People') as the boxer's love interest. All of this alone would have caught my attention, but what really sealed the deal for me was the re-teaming of Michael B. Jordan and director/writer Ryan Coogler who showed much promise with his feature length debut, the searing aforementioned 'Fruitvale Station'  with Jordan as the lead. Now, once again his strong directing and writing skills have been put into play for 'Creed'. The decision on whether this movie is a winner or not will be revealed in America on 25th November.

Thanks for the clip. I did see an interview with Sylvester Stallone about the film but this excerpt makes it look more interesting.
