After Sly Stallone posted and removed the news about the upcoming poster and trailer from Instagram on Monday, MGM and Warner Bros. Pictures have released the first poster for the upcoming film starring Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone. Along with the poster and the trailer, the premise of the film was released.
Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family’s past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring. Rocky Balboa is there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis will confront their shared legacy, question what’s worth fighting for, and discover that nothing’s more important than family. Creed II is about going back to basics to rediscover what made you a champion in the first place, and remembering that, no matter where you go, you can’t escape your history.
Creed II is the continuation of the Rocky saga and sequel to the 2015 critically-acclaimed and sleeper hit Creed, which took in more than $170 million at the worldwide box office. MGM also announced that the trailer of the film will be released later today. Until then, enjoy the first poster to the film.
