The Rocky franchise was a success back in the 70s and 80s, with the classic story of an underdog climbing their way to the top and defying the odds. In 2015, the first Creed was a big hit racking up $176.3 million in its box office. What made this movie such a big hit was the introduction of modern black culture, which is what Rocky movies had never done before. Michael B. Jordan did a remarkable job playing Adonis Creed, the son of Apollo Creed, one of the greatest boxers in the Rocky franchise. Sylvester Stallone reprised his role as the famous Rocky Balboa returning once again as Adonis’ mentor. There’s even more pressure on Adonis because he wants to live up to his father’s name.
Now in 2018, Creed 2 follows the same concept but with a bit of history, Viktor Drago the son of Ivan Drago the man who infamously killed Apollo Creed back in Rocky IV, challenges Adonis Creed to a fight to revive and make the Drago name glorious again since it was disowned from Russia after Ivan Drago lost his fight against Rocky Balboa. There’s even more pressure on Adonis now, having a family of his own to look after, and he fears that history might repeat itself. Creed 2 includes real life issues and emotions people can relate to. If you want to see Adonis Creed go against Viktor Drago, Creed 2 is out now in theaters with an audience score of 90% and with their box office earning $100 million world wide, making it the best Thanksgiving opening movie of 2018.
