#TRAILERCHEST: Creed 2 is finally here as Michael B. Jordan enters absolute beast mode

Paul Moore

Creed 2

This is gonna knock you out.

Michael B. Jordan might just be the coolest man alive.

Aside from delivering a plethora of wonderful performances in the likes of Friday Night Lights, The Wire, Chronicle and Black Panther – one of the best villains in recent memory – the talented actor is also an incredibly likeable man who’s unafraid to call people out on their bullshit.

Only recently, he said that Roseanne Barr deserved his recently-won award for Best Villain at the MTV Awards and more importantly, he was also one of the first men to insist on an inclusion rider for any film that he produces.

In simple terms, we should all try to be like Mike.

On that note, the gifted actor is stepping back into the ring for Creed 2 and Adonis will have to face his own history.

We’re absolutely pumped!

Plot’s it all about?: 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.

Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Florian Munteanu, Wood Harris.

Director: Steven Caple Jr.

Released: 21 November.

Enjoy!
