Opening November 25, Creed may initially be seen as a continuation of the Rocky franchise thanks to the involvement of Sylvester Stallone, but now a generation of fighter has emerged in Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan). The plot follows Adonis Creed – the son of Sylvester Stallone’s infamous Rocky opponent, Apollo Creed. After heading to Philadelphia, Adonis is able to track down Rocky Balboa and asks him to be his trainer. Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky decides to take on the challenge as he is already dealing with another battle outside of the ring. In the intro, he says even his grandma didn’t believe in him.
