Michael B. Jordan returns to the ring in ‘Creed II” trailer

MGM and Warner Bros. Pictures have shared the first trailer for Creed II starring Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone, reprising their roles as Adonis Creed and Rocky Balboa.

In the clip, soundtracked by Kendrick Lamar’s “Loyalty,” Creed intensely trains for a fight against the son of Ivan Drago, the boxer who killed Creed’s father Apollo during a fight in Rocky IV. Check it out above.

Creed II is the continuation of the Rocky saga and sequel to the 2015 Creed, which took in more than $170 million at the worldwide box office. Ryan Coogler (Black Panther), who directed the first film, returns to the franchise as an executive producer on Creed II. The new film is being directed by Steven Caple Jr., who helmed the acclaimed 2016 drama The Land.
